Hi Abdullah,

When looking at the screenshots you provided, I noticed that you try to connect Power BI using a connection URL beloning to a OneBox development environment. The URL is only accessible inside the virtual machine, not outside of it. Power BI is not able to find the application in your local virtual machine.
