So we have a team at works who manages the firewall. To connect to the network, we use openVPN, which assigns us with an IP to enter the network.
Whilst connected via VPN, I can ping every single machine (including my own), and I can rdp to every PC (excluding my own). This is the problem. I have asked a colleague to try to ping and RDP to my machine from their home via VPN, and they can. So it's a problem with my machine. (My machine is running windows 11.)
Any tips?
Thanks :)
Well I figured it out... Someone in my house had the same IP as the machine at work. I had to change my subnet to a different one to my local ethernet and the one provided by via the VPN for it to work. Because instead of pinging the VPN server then the host machine, it was straight up pinging the person in this house lol.

I am running XAMPP on my windows 10. and installed WordPress site. All working fine on my pc and other PCs in my network.
I just changed my router.
My site is working on my PC but not working on other PCs.
When i connect with WiFi, its working. If i connect with cat5 wire, its not working.
Check your IP-Addresses and network configuration (e.g.: Gateway). Port Forwarding may also be needed on the new router.
For a better answer I'd need more details. For example, can you ping the other PCs on the network? Are you able to connect to the internet?
You should also check your firewall.
First I must say that I have no idea what kind of problem it is (Ubuntu/Windows/vmware/secureW2), so I hope anyone can select the necessary information from this mess.
I am running an Ubuntu 15.04 guest on a Windows 10 host using the vmware Virtual Machine. The Ubuntu internet icon in the right hand corner claims that it has a (wired) connection, yet I can't browse or ping google. Windows 10 is successfully connected by wi-fi, vmware uses a bridged connection (automatic) and my router enables DHCP. I can successfully ping my router from within the VM (at least, I assume 192.168.1.1 still refers to my actual router, and not some virtual router). In windows I can see two network adapters running (VMnet1 and VMnet8), both of which say they're enabled but have no internet access. I tried installing the bridge protocol in them, I tried using NAT instead of a bridge, but all to no avail. I was still connected just a few days ago when I was at school, which makes me think SecureW2 (a program responsible for connecting me to the school wi-fi) could also be involved somehow.
Everyone thanks in advance!
Turns out it was DNS related, caused by Ubuntu and SecureW2. The /etc/resolv.conf file was set up specifically for the LAN at school, for which I blame SecureW2. I "solved" it by adding my router IP to (the top of) the name server list, though I know this is only a practical solution.
I've Created My Own FileZilla FTP server and I wanted to access it from my local Network.
So I've done that. but there are Two Problems I'm Facing right now.
Problem 1:- Can't connect ON PC which is connected with same Router But with LAN
My father's PC is connected with LAN And My Laptop is Connected with WiFi
So over WiFi with Any Device I can connect to my Server but when I try to connect my FTP to my father's PC (which is connected on LAN and with same Router)
I can't connect it
Problem 2:- Can't connect it Remotely
I want to access my this FTP server with Internet so that I can connect it with Remotely. I've referred on so many websites. but Can't Find a complete step by step Tutorial... I've Configured my FTP but still Can't connect it with Internet for remote access.. plzz help me out.
Thanks In Advance...
Problem 1: As you say wifi-connected devices can access the server, so there are different cases you shall check, as where my experience reaches, these two might be the reasons:
Is client/network isolation enabled in your router's wifi settings? This can be checked and solved by accessing your router's management console.
Is your father's PC on a different subnet (XXX.XXX.SUBNET.XXX)? If so, you have two choices, changing all devices' subnet masks to 255.255.0.0 (This might be applicable in your router's DHCP settings too.), or changing your father's PC's IP address to match the local subnet.
Problem 2: This has two solutions, both need resources that might not be worth it, but yet:
Connect to a virtual private network on the cloud (VPN), this way, your PC will become a part of a private network. You can connect other devices from other networks which can access the VPN server to the private network, so your PC and the device will now be in a same network like in your home network.
Some ISPs provide static IP addresses or internet plans with static IPs. Check if the internet plan you use is so, if not, you might be able to rent an IP address from them. With static IPs your network can be accessed from the internet. Anyway there might be a bit of effort needed to ensure that your PC is accessed in the first place.
And just letting you know, this question must be moved to the Super-User Forums.
My goal is to have two laptops in a network. One is acting as a server, serving webpages to the other. The catch here is that neither is connected to the outside internet.
What I have done so far is setup WAMP on the server laptop, and it successfully serves web pages on localhost. Now I want to access these pages on the other laptop.
To do this, I had the server create an ad-hoc network and connected the other laptop to it, but I'm stuck - and I'm worried I'm not on the right track. I followed this tutorial but in the end I figured out that just explained how to spoof a text URL as an IP address, and not really what I was looking for.
So I guess I have two questions:
Is my method the best way to do this (with ad-hoc networks)? Is there some way to connect a laptop to a wireless router and have the laptop act as a server to another laptop?
If my WAMP and ad-hoc network should work, how do I connect other laptops to my server through the ad-hoc network?
Thanks!
I would suggest the first option: get a wifi router. Then you can assign static IP adresses from the routers private network or use DHCP server on the router. Hopefully you will have an option to reserve IP adresses on DHCP server so you dont have to check every time what IP adress the laptop acting as a server got. You use this address to access your web server. Also, you can use this router later as a gateway to the internet if you want.
In ad hoc mode you will probably get an address from 169.254.0.0/16 link-local scope, and you can check it by running ipconfig as #Robadob already suggested.
On your hosting laptop open cmd and call ipconfig look for the internal IP address on the network interface your hosting the ad-hoc network.
Enter that IP address into the browser on your client laptops web browser instead of localhost.
If that doesn't work, try other ip addresses listed by ipconfig (incase you used the wrong) and then check the properties of your ad-hoc network, windows firewall and any other firewall software to disable anything that might be blocking it.
An ad-hoc network is suitable option for what your doing, most people would probably use a switch or router though, however that requires hardware you probably don't have.
I'm a complete newbie to VMWare and troubleshooting networking issues.
I'm running the buildix app through VMWare Player on my laptop. Things work fine when I'm connected to my home wireless network.
However, when I'm not connected to a network, my wireless card is turned off (eg., to save power) or when I'm connected to another wireless network, the Buildix appliance / VMWare player fails to get an ip address.
I only want the appliance to be able to communicate with my laptop.
I've tried this in all 3 networking modes : Host-Only (which is what I believe I want), NAT and Bridged, all with no success.
I've also taken a look at the settings by running vmnetcfg.exe in the VMWare Player install dir, but can't see anything obvious here.
Can someone please assist?
Regards
Marty
Host-Only mode is probably the way to go in your case. The problem is NAT and Bridged mode are relying on some third-party DHCP server to provide an IP address, and that server is not available when you are running disconnected.
VMware Workstation (not sure about Player) provides a built-in DHCP server if your machine is configured onto the right virtual network switch. You can also adjust which virtual switch has the DHCP server, what IP addresses it gives out, etc.
If Player does not support this feature, you may be forced into setting the IP address of the virtual machine manually. This is dependent on what OS you are running.
