I have a network with a resource with an internal ip of 192.168.1.254 for example. I need to be able to access this resource from the external IP address of 86.126.1.234 let's say. I am off site and need to use VNC to access this computer.
How can I access this resource using just the two IP addresses.
Thanks in advance,
Maksim
192.168. is a non routable ip address.
You need an external facing ip address.
to find out your external ip address you can try
whatsmyipaddress.com
You will probably need to change your router configuration to make your VNC port forwarded to 192.168.1.254.
Or, you if you just need remote control access to your Computer, try using

Using a network tool in an android phone, I found the Local IP and External IP as:
I believe both are the Public IP.
Pls be kind and let me know, what is Local IP and External IP in this scenario?

The Local IP is the address that your provider (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc...) uses to identify you on their network. The External IP is the address that websites (google.com, facebook.com, etc...) use to identify and communicate with you.
There is a translation process, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), that converts Local IP addresses into External/Public IP addresses. The NAT service is controlled by your cell network provider.
More information can be found on Wikipedia's Network Address Translation page.
I'm working on a project which enables a web-based server which is accessible through 127.0.0.1:8081.
But I am not really able to understand the concept of the ip address. Does it mean the address is only available from the device which opens up the server, or across the whole LAN on any computer connected to that same router?
127.0.0.1 is a special IP address that refers to your local machine. Localhost resolves to this address. If you want to make your server accessible from the web or a different machine you will have to use a routable IP address.
hello I created a website with IIS. I open ports and everything. I can access this website from another network with ip and port
like http://81.215.xx.xx:81 . but with any computer with same network (LAN) I cant access http://81.215.xx.xx:81 like this. I can only access when I write the static ip of that machine. like http://192.168.1.3:81/
I want to access with external ip in lan how can I do that?
Your LAN most likely has another equipment, a router for example which has an interface with the other IP address, http://81.215.xx.xx:81. Your router forwards requests to your server based on its routing table. This routing does not exist when you are in the private network. That is why you can only access the server with its private IP address which is in the same range as your computer when you are in that network.
I created a localhost server using servlets.
I want to know how to access from other networks(other ip addresses).
what to do for that?
any answers will be helpful for me
you should use public ip address,instead of local ip address to access over the networks.
You can access it by giving IP address of your machine in your application url in place of localhost while accessing it from another machine in the same network.
you can use your ip address instead of localhost.and also need to configure firewall.The firewall can be configured by: choosing the Windows Firewall from the Control Panel, then click on Exceptions -> Add Port and enter name and number: your server, port and leave transport protocol as TCP.
e.g,
http://10.4.0.198:8080/project
I have a machine in my private network with IP 192.168.1.10
I have a DNS name, "toto.mydns.com", a DNS client is running on the machine.
I configured the router for Port forwarding.
I can access the machine when i am outside my home, when using a pulic IP address it works but when i am at home and i get a dynamic IP address trough DHCP from my router, i cannot use toto.mydns.com anymore, i must use 192.168.1.10 to access.
I would like to know if i need to configure something on the router for that ?
Thank you !
toto.mydns.com will resolve to your external public IP
There will almost certainly be nothing routing that IP through to your router, and thus through NAT to your internal address.
The easiest way to resolve this (Pun very much intended) is to have a hosts file entry on your computers running inside your network so that they resolve the same DNS address to the internal address.
A much harder, but more fun, way would be to set up your own DNS server inside your network, have the DHCP dish it out as the primary DNS server for your network and put in an entry for your internal address :D
Have fun...
Toto.mydns.com is accessible from outside,this DNS is assigned on a machine with a static IP address(sorry not dynamic),so the IP of this machine is 192.168.1.10.
Whrn i am at home in my private network i need to enter 192.168.1.10 and toto.mydns.com does not work.Any help???
