At a guess your /etc/hosts file is incorrectly configured in your server machine and more than likely in your client machine as well. Make sure you have an entry in the above file for 192.168.0.1
Can you please post the file to the list so that we can see where the mistakes are. Below find my server and client /etc/hosts files:
