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>

I have a server that has both Apache and IIS running simultaneously.
Both apps are configured on different ports and both apps use HTTPS.
The app on Apache (port 433) is accessible on any computer on the network, but I can't get the IIS app (port 4433) to work. It says: This site can’t be reached
I can ping the server.
I'm trying to access both websites with IP address of the server and port after it.
The IIS app works on the server, both with localhost address and server IP address.
I have tried all the solutions I found:
1. disabling firewall
2. allowing just the port I needed through the firewall
3. allowing anonymous access in IIS
4. different ports (4433, 7200...)
Nothing seems to work.
I will be grateful for any help.
I assume your IIS binding looks something like this:
Specifically, "All Unassigned" for the IP address, and no host name defined.
If that is what you have, then it sounds like a firewall problem. i.e. The traffic is not reaching your server.
The easiest way to check this is to turn off Apache and change the IIS binding to use port 443. If it works, then you know it's just the other port that doesn't work.
You can also use something like Wireshark to actually see if any traffic on port 4433 is making it to your server (you can use the filter tcp.port == 4433). If you don't see any traffic there even though you've made a request from another computer, then something is blocking it.
And when I say "firewall", I don't mean Windows Firewall. I mean either a router or dedicated firewall appliance that would need to be configured to allow traffic to that port.
i have problem with access to server with domains.
Test url: testpage.example.com.
Server is in local network with port fowarding (80, 443), configured as web server using caddy server as reverse proxy.
Case 1 (using Asus router):
Connected on local network behind router. Server is in the same network as my computer. Everything works like a charm in and out of my network.
Case 2 (using internet provider router):
Connected on local network behind router. Can't access server with domain. Works with direct IP. Outside network, works as in case 1.
I used same server.
Does anyone know why this problem occured? How can i solve it?
Thanks,
David
Two options I can think of:
You could add a record to whatever DNS server you're using in Case 2.
You could write a short script that runs whenever you change network connections to modify your hosts file accordingly.
This happens when the server you are trying to reach "testpage.example.com" resolves to your router's external IP address. Because your public IP address is the same as server's IP address (even though inside your home network you have different private IP addresses) your requests are lost in the ether.
As a workaround you can resolve the testpage.example.com manually on your local machine.
For Windows c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts
For Linux /etc/hosts
testpage.example.com 192.168.1.102 -> private IP of the machine serving the site.
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.
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.
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.
