I have followed the guide https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/installation to the letter and everything is working great, but friends cannot connect through my external IP though and I'm out of ideas.
I have:
No firewall or AV in the way
Forwarded ports 8085 and 3724
Added my computer to the router's DMZ (Nuclear option when forwarding didn't seem to work)
Changed the address field in the DB realmlist table to my external IP
authserver and worldserver running and allowing local connections
An extra note is https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ says the ports are not open while I have the servers running as if they aren't listening on them.
I just learned that my modem from CenturyLink is also acting as ANOTHER router so fun stuff. Making it a transparent bridge is just a bag of cats I'm not gonna open so I guess I get to play WoW with myself for now.
I probably don't have the solution for u but thought id share some thoughts
People can connect to my server but that website u linked at the end does also say that the ports are closed for me as well so I'm not sure how trustworthy it is
When I first made my server the DB realmlist change was the fix that worked for me but since u already seem to have done that I'm afraid Ive no idea
With that said. In Heidisql at least there were 2 places in realmlist u had to change the IP, in the Table:Realmlist and Data tabs

So my ip address has changed so I can no longer access my WP Admin from my pc. It's redirecting to a different device/ip on my wifi so, therefore, cannot access it on my PC anymore. Can I edit/reset the Wordpress settings from ftp or PHPMyAdmin? So it points to localhost instead of a different device ip?
I also had a problem with my windows ten (my other Samsung Computer)
So I searched this up.

This actually contains 3 common solutions to the problems that we both have had and are having.
Resolve Apache Port Conflicts (This actually fixed my problem)
Include the Listening Port in the Address When Accessing Localhost
Change Your MySQL Port (Although I think this is the least helpful one)

I'm using a Cisco client to connect to a VPN but also using Synergy (Symless) to connect to the machine. It works fine initially but will drop out after machine sleep (or sometimes seemingly randomly), then I have to restart the VPN connection. Not the end of the world, but it is irritating.
Are there any config changes I can do to Networks settings, VPN or Synergy to stop this dropping out?
Found this which I hope will fix it.
https://blog.lan-tech.ca/2013/02/21/access-local-and-vpn-network-simultaneously/
"you just need to add the local devices to the windows routing tables so that it knows to access them when the VPN is active.
See the windows “route” command – E.G. route -p add MASK 255.0.0.0 METRIC IF
To help discover what you need to use, disconnect from your VPN, make sure you can connect to your local device, then run a “route print” show the current active routes and find your device. (generally in the IPv4 Route Table)
It will also list the ‘Metric’ to use, and at the top of the listing is the “Interface List” which lists the network interfaces on your system. You’ll need to figure out which one to use. For example, I know my system has a gigabit network adapter and in the list I see a “Intel(R) Gigabit Network Connection” – bingo – that’s it. The first column is the interface id, 49 in my case.
The “-p” option makes your configuration persistent – meaning that it will be there again next time you boot.
SO, as an example, let’s say I want a local network share at 192.168.1.43 to be accessible to my machine while connected to the VPN, so I would add the route like so:
route -p add 192.168.1.43 MASK 255.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 METRIC 15 IF 49
Now if I run route print, I see this new route in the list of persistent routes for IPv4.
I turn my VPN back on, and instead of the device ‘disappearing’ as it normally does, windows can still find it because it is in the persistent route list."
Guidance on how to connect to SQL Server 2012 needed.
I am on Windows 10 Home Edition
I have set up SQL Server Express to allow remote connections on my database machine to serve up data to three client machines.
Firewall has been set for ports - check
Allowed mixed mode logins - check
Setup IPs through SQL Configuration Manager - check
The server is something like 192.168.1.40,1433 and I can login successfully through SQL Server Express on my client machines. I had a long LAN cable running along the floor which is not optimal. So, I went to the store and bought a router so that I could connect wirelessly but have limited experience in networking.
After, installation of the router I can no longer connect to SQL Server. This makes sense since there is another piece of hardware in the chain.
After doing an IP config on the command line I see that the IPV4 address has changed. I assume I am not picking up the private IP address of the router rather than the modem that I was initially connected to.
Should I be port forwarding?
What are my options?
I explored what I thought may be reasonable leads to get this working.
First, I tried to create a virtual server (I also assume this is how to port forward on my particular router). I didn't really know what to put in five fields that were given other than server name and Protocol TCP or if I was on the right track at all.
The other three fields consist of:
External Port, Internal IP, and Internal Port
If this is a reasonable solution can you let me know what to put in these fields and any changes to the SQL Server configuration or firewall might be?
Should I VPN ?
After exploring this option on google I also notice people saying, "set up a VPN is the correct way to go." However, I don't really know how to do this. The only VPNs I know of are external VPN providers. It seems that I would be setting up a VPN server if I am not corrected(maybe on the server computer) and connecting via my client machines.
Any clarification or direction would be greatly appreciated. I am sure I have missed the mark on many things here but still would like to make ground.
I have 2 instances running on Compute engine, although the documentation says that I'm able to ping and establish a communication between these VMs I can't. I've tried the ping with VM name and ipv4 address. I also tried to configure new work-group for both VMs and nothing.
Here's the link: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/vm-ip-addresses
If you are communicating between instances in the same network, you
can send packets to an instance using the instance name, and the
network automatically resolves the name to the internal IP address of
the instance.
My VMs configuration:
Both are in the same network
I even turn off the firewalls
But no connection between at all.
Anyone passed for the same? someone knows what is going on?
How do I solve this issue?
This is due to firewall rules. You need to add the allow-icmp network tag in the Network tags section of the instances edit page >
You can create new Network tags to open up new ports/protocols in the VPC Network>Firewall rules section:
EDIT 1:
Please note that the 0.0.0.0/0 subnet used on the screenshot above opens up the ports to the entire internet and I only used it for demonstration purposes to avoid sharing my IPs. I would STRONGLY advise against using that subnet for firewall rules in a production environment. The internet is a dark and scary place.
This happens to us from time to time - suddenly our 2 instances cannot reach each other through API or even ping. Even though we haven't changed any firewall rules or anything. I guess it's some GCloud glitch.
Nothing we have tried works, except for restarting the instances, then everything works again. So, if anyone has the same, and nothing seems to help the issue, I suggest, as a last resort, to reboot the instances.
Each network in Google Compute Engine has its own firewall configuration which by default will block incoming traffic to your VM. See the firewall documentation to see how the default network is configured and how to apply similar rules to your custom network.
Be sure the firewall rules include the GCE subnet. In your case, it would mean that 10.10.0.0/24 has icmp allowed.
I'm not sure why the firewall rules apply within the network subnet, but apparently they do.
If you did not change network and or firewall rules and use default network and firewall rules then simply edit hosts file (open hosts on all vm, copy hosts line for each vm and add its all other vm) and then try ping. I have tried same between three centos instance and its working.
Make sure you restart the network on VMs in order to work it fine.
This helped me pretty well.
I have a real IP. Or so I think, basically how I tested this is under windows in cmd I pinged my IP address and I got packages back, so that must mean it's real. However when I start my xampp and go to my IP address in the browser I get
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server
I tried looking up other questions but they didn't help cause all answers I found were suggesting LAN connection. Can you please explain to me any extra steps I need to take or link an answer that does that. Thanks!
The only way to access your localhost from other computers is over a Local Area Network (LAN); whether wired or wireless, there has to be a physical connection between the computers.
Once the computers are connected, you can access your localhost from the browser with the name of the computer on other computers:
http ://your-computer/path/to/files/
It also works on the same computer, so you can test it there.
You can find the name of your computer by going to the "Network" section in Windows Explorer.
EDIT:
If you want to access a localhost from a computer that is on another network, you have to create a web server; more or less what you would be paying for from a hosting company. Here is how you would do it:
