I just tried to publish my website via IIS.
I forwarded the right ports to my LAN and it successfully connects to the LAN, but can't connect the internet.
When using 192.168.1.20:8080 (which is my local IP address), it connects to the website, but when using my external IP address it doesn't work.
What do I do wrong?
Thanks!
It likely has something to do with the port being auto-blocked by your Windows firewall or :80 not being routed to :8080 in your router.
I had this issue too, Windows Firewall's default was to block the :80 port. I just had to go in and make an exception.
-first of all you should have a static IP address.
-second make sure you add the make sure you add that IP address to your Network (NIC) card Interface and I hope it will work fine.

I am using (airtel xstream fiber) connection and trying to do port forwarding. I forwarded port 3000 of wan and direct it to my system ip address 192.168.1.2 on port 3001.
Node server is running on my system on port 3001. And I can access my hello world website locally using 192.168.1.2:3001. But when I am trying to access using public ip, it show this error code "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT".
Also, I found my router port 3001 is open using online port checking tool/website.
So, Can anyone please tell what could be reason behind this ? Is this the problem with windows.
You first need to check what ports are open by your ISP. If your ISP is giving you a local ip at the router. Basically, creating a ppp connection. It may be using a cg nat. In that case you need to buy a static ip, without that none of the traffic will be Directed to your router. Let me know if you find something, I'm currently looking to get xstream airtel as well.
No there is no need for static IP to be access server remotely. As of now, What I see is airtel allocates new ip every 24 hr or when router got disconnected. To access your server remotely you can do two things. First one is more secured.
Change Primary IP adress of your airtel router and use Portforwarding so that its port 80 will be free for you.
Enable DMZ and point it to your local server IP. [192.168.X.X]. In this case all of your ports of the device are exposed to internet. If you want to be secure. Make sure add another router between server and airtel router and enable port forwarding.
But in this case there is a catch, When you try to access your local website using public ip (which you can see on google search) it will redirect you to airtel router panel. But when you try to access it using other device (not server otherwise server will get disconnected) connected to internet using other network(other that your current airtel router like JIO sim, Airtel Sim, etc), It will work excellently.
To get rid of dynamic ip use no-ip services. Its website will help you more. Basically, It is dynamic dns server where you will get free domain. That will get update regularly while its service running on your system. To use other dns provider service like godaddy you must need an static ip.
I am attempting to spin up an application that listens on a port and responds to HTTP requests. I am on a Windows 8 machine connecting through a Netgear router that provides port forwarding. I have:
modified my DNS zone file of one of my domains to point to the IP address that is assigned to my cable modem
Added a port-forwarding rule to my router that sends requests to port 8080 to port 8081 on my computer
Opened port 8081 on my Windows Firewall
Executed netsh http add urlact http://+:8081/ user=Everyone listen=yes as administrator
Started up my app which uses the simple webserver solution found at http://codehosting.net/blog/BlogEngine/post/Simple-C-Web-Server.aspx which uses an HttpListener object with a prefix of http://+:8081/.
From any machine on my local network, I can browse to http://home.example.com:8080/blah/blah and everything works great. Whenever I attempt the same URL from a machine connected elsewhere on the Internet, the connection times out. I have tried using the IP address instead the domain name, and have tried disabling my Windows Firewall (temporarily), still with no luck.
I'm sure this is more of a network setup issue than a code issue, but I thought I would ask anyway to see if there is anything I can do. Sorry for the spaces in the urls above. This is my first post to SO, and I apparently don't have enough of a reputation to post more than a single link.
By "elsewhere on the Internet", I am assuming you are attempting to access it from a different ISP.
The thing about some ISPs is that unless you are paying for a "business class" connection, they will do all sorts of tricks to ensure that you remain a "consumer". What you need is an unNATed static IP address.
By this I mean that the IP address that you may have at your home may not be accessible to the outside world because the ISP is actually NATing (or other) that address to you. This is a fairly common practice because of limited IP4 addresses. If you really want a service accessible via the WWW, I would suggest moving your product to a VPN, or at least a commodity hosting provider.
Edit: Try a VPN service like Hamachi
I have windows 8 host and i have installed ubuntu 14.10 server as a virtual machine in vmware. i have installed LAMP server and i am trying to host a website from it. i have created a virtual host. my website is accessible in the host machine when i go to the address 192.168.0.106.
my router info:
LAN
IP Address :192.168.0.1
INTERNET
IP Address :10.30.XXX.XXX
"what is my ip" in google: 113.XXX.XXX.XXX
how do i make my website accessible from the internet ? I know it is a dumb question, but i tried searching everywhere and could not get the solution.
Since you say that you can connect to the site from the host machine, it does not matter that it is in a VM.
You say that you can connect to your site via: 192.168.0.106 on the LAN. You need to forward connections to your WAN address (113.193.56.198) to your LAN address (192.168.0.106). You can do this in most router settings in a section called Port forwarding. Use port 80 if you're hitting the LAN IP from a browser and you don't have to add a port after the address like http:\\192.168.0.106:1234. Otherwise, use whatever port you like.
Once you get that working, it is a good idea to use a dynamic DNS service, which will connect your IP to a domain name and update the connection whenever your WAN IP changes. This way, instead of using the WAN IP in a browser, you can use your domain name and it should always work. But that's not your first problem. First get it working with the WAN IP by itself. Once you've got that working, get some DynDNS.
EDIT
If you think it should be working but can't figure out why it isn't, use a tool like nmap/zenmap to scan your WAN and LAN IPs. That will help you diagnose the problem.
A DynDNS should do the job!
It will automatically renew your dynamic ip address. All you need is; a tool that runs on your server with website.
Search for it on google, and you'll find a solution. Btw: there are, Free and paid solutions.
EDIT: by the way, your router requires additionally some port forwarding to make your website accessible from outside. Even with the DynDNS stuff installed.
Just to give you some indications.
Hi I am trying to make my router(TPlink router) to forward port by configuring it and by creating NAT virtual server or port triggering. Firstly the port doesn't open which I have checked via an online website, the port is closed. Secondly if the port does open, would I be able to access my computer or computer server or a website hosted on my wamp server externally via another network from some other place externally? I am not sure what are the things on my computer that I would be able to access from outside? How exactly am I going to do it? I am aware that I am going to use my router external ip address which I know and the port that I have associated with the ip address of the computer I am trying to access. I am just a beginner but I am really into networking. Can somebody explain the entire process please?
Your local host can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Just use put the ip of the pc/wamp server installed pc in the DMZ Box under Forward Menu of your tp-link router & enable DMZ option.
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.
