Cannot access ftp site through WAN - networking

i was trying to establish an ftp connection on my LAN and WAN , i use windows 8 , i configured the IIS , and opened port 21 , actually disabled firewall , i created a new user to access my ftp folder 'A' , it worked fine on LAN by accessing
ftp://192.168.1.10 (my local ip),from any pc on my LAN.
The problem is , i am trying to access through ftp but this time from WAN , i configured the router to port forward to my LAN (192.168.1.10) , i looked up my static ip , now i have a login panel
ftp://393.32.3.2(random ip) when it comes to authentification i used the user i created but it is not working , any ideas ?

FTP uses both port 20 and 21. You have only port forwarded port 21 which is used to initiate and control connections to FTP servers.
This means you will be able to connect to your FTP server and log in, but it will not be able to transfer any files because that uses port 20.
Hope this helped!

you must configure in your router ports 1025-3500 forwarding to yours server ex: 192.168.0.100
you must configure in your router ports 21(all protocols tcp&udp) forwarding to yours server ex: 192.168.0.100

Router "ZXHN H168N V3.1" can't be port forwarded (after doing so, there are no visible open ports) in context of Acore server

The router I attempted to port forward to enable WAN connections was "ZXHN H168N V3.1", I portforwarded the 8085 & the 3724 ports.
I tried lowering the firewall on the router.
I tried completely disabling the firewall on my pc, and also added exceptions for the authserver.exe (acore authentication server) & the worldserver.exe .
The server works completely fine on LAN, I can connect via my local IPV4 and by localhost(127.0.0.1), but I can not through my WAN address, and canyouseeme.org says the ports that I supposedly opened are closed.
Did you configure your realmlist table as described in https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/Installation / 6) Setting up the database?
You need to set your local IP to be able to connect from other machines than locally.

How to access a URL with port with out disabling firewall

I have a server to which I connect using VPN. I have a deployed a site on this on IIS server. URL for the site is "http://localhost:8080/mysite". when I use this Url on server it is opening up.
But When I use its ip address Lets say http://172.x.x.x:8080/mysite it is not accessible. (not on the server not from my dev machine (Which uses VPN)).
But if I disable firewall on server then It is accessible using the IP and port 8080 also or if I change the port number of deployed site to 80 then also I can access it(without disabling firewall).
Is there any way so that I can use my port number 8080 and also don`t need to disable firewall on server.

Accessing WAMP server from a different network

I was trying to setup WAMP server on my machine . Am able to access the localhost from the same PC or remotely from other devices in the same network .
However I would like to know how can I access it from a different network ?
Check the port 80 forwarding on your router. Forward port 80 of that particular machine/server to your router. That server should have a permanent local IP like 192.168.1.* or 192.168.2.*, etc whose port 80 is forwarded to the public IP of your router. This provides access to your server/machine with the set IP from outside your network!
For router settings, open a browser, in the location bar, type http://192.168.1.1 or whatever your router manual says it to be. You will need the default user/pass to login.
In order to have a permanent access to your home server with a domain, You need to get a permanent public IP for your network from your Internet service provider in order to assign a domain name to it.

How Can I Access Locally Hosted IIS WebSite from Remote Computer By My IP Address?

How Can I Access My Locally Hosted IIS WebSite from Remote Computer By My IP Address ?
You have to check you ip here, make sure that you are forwarding port 80 (especially if you're in a locale home network), and then you could access your server by http://<server_ip> e.g. http://192.168.0.6
Note that as long as you don't have a fixed (static) ip, your ip address might change, and you'll have to recheck it.
Another note- The default HTTP port is 80, and by using port 80 you could access your server via browsers without writing the port number. If for any reason you like to switch port, make sure your forward that port number and access your site by http://<server_ip>:<port_number> , e.g. http://192.168.0.6:8080
if you are using some other port. then you can go with http://<ip_address>:<port_no>

How do I connect to a local server run by Aptana from an outside network?

I have a rails server that i run from Aptana Studio. I normally connect to it via localhost:300, and everyone on the network connects to it via stonecrab:3000 (stonecrab is the name of my computer). However, how do I allow people from outside the local network to connect to the server? For instance, if the IP of my internet connection is 123.456.7.8, what URL can someone use in a web browser to connect to my server? I have a linksys e1000 router and i can access it if i need to change any settings.
Thanks
By default, your machine will not be accessible from behind the router. You need to enable port forwarding in your router. You need to tell your router to forward port 3000 to the IP of stonecrab. Then you will use 123.456.7.8:3000 to access stonecrabe:3000 from outside the LAN.
