Basic OpenPGM Setup - ip

I've recently begun to setup OpenPGM on a threesome of virtual linux machine with a fourth virtual machine acting as a gateway. Ideally I would like to observe the traffic using wireshark on the gateway. At this stage I'm only using the sample applications ( pgmrecv and pgmsend ) which operate as expected, but as soon as I set a static IP on a machine running pgmrecv, it errors and aborts iteself with the message:
** ERROR **: parsing network parameter: Unique address cannot be determined for interface 'eth0': Internet host resolution: Temporary
failure in name resolution(-3) aborting... Aborted
BTW, eth0' is the interface I am listening on, and there is no dhcp server involved in this network. Also, the gateway has port forwarding turned on.
I can ping between any of the machine in this virtual network with the static IPs.
Does anybody with experience with openPGM understand the cause of this error. How would assigning a static IP cause this?
I apologize if this is a rudimentary question; I am new to openPGM and could not find information on this issue posted elsewhere.
Thanks in advance.

While I cannot explain the error message, I found that using the local IP address of the box as the argument passed with -n caused pgmsend and pgmrecv to function on a box with a static IP address.

If your eth0 ip address is 192.168.1.1 then you set openpgm reciever in this way:
sudo ./purinrecv -lp 7500 -n "192.168.1.1;239.192.1.1"
and sender in this way:
sudo ./purinsend -l -n "192.168.1.1;239.192.1.1" -p 7500 test_msg

WebSocket-Sharp doesn't respond to public IP address

I have a problem hosting WebSocket-Sharp on a public internet IP. Locally it works fine.
This problem occurs on Windows and Linux.
I do no receive a timeout or an HTTP status code, the page blocks immediately.
I'm 99% sure I have port forwarding set up correctly; I've tried with an Android modem, VPN and regular NAT router setup.
I've tried the following combinations:
192.168.1.2:80 8080 5000 39393
0.0.0.0: ....
public IP: ....
The problem resides in the HttpServer provided with WebsScketSharp. The pure websocket variant (WebSocketServer.cs), instead of the HttpServer option with Get functionality, has an option to set AllowForwardedRequest to true so will be reachable from non localhost addresses. The HttpServer class doesn't support this.
It is partially a solution as I gave up regular GET functionality, but thats fine by me.
Ok, assuming your server with the public Ip addres is Linux:
Check what ports are listening and what program are listening in those
netstat -tulpn
Check your Firewall rules both in the provider and in the Server
sudo ufw status
See if connections are getting to your Server
sudo tcpdump
You can filter for the port of for origin Ip (if you use a proxy that will be different Ip).
sudo tcpdump | grep "80\|123.45.67.89"
That's the only way to see if the packets are getting into the server.
Let me know if you use Docker as thinks work a bit different.
You can create a tunnel and try like if it was local
ssh -L 80:123.45.67.89:80 ubuntu#yourserver.com

Cannot Ping Or Remote Desktop into Hyper-V PC Via IP Address On Host

I have a bit of a bizarre problem. I have a Hyper-V VM and I cannot connect to it via IP address on the host computer.
I intend to use it as an SQL server to host a database for a website while I test it, and the first step I can see in this endeavour is to make sure the IP addresses work externally.
Other PCs on the LAN appear to be able to connect just fine via the IP address on Remote Desktop. I cannot do so. I also cannot connect through SQL Management Studio (named pipes or TCP/IP). Although named pipes gives an error relating to being denied access as opposed to IPs which are just not found.
I have tried pinging both ways:
VM => Host : Always gives a "Destination Host Unreachable" error
Host => VM: Always gives a "Request Timed Out" error
As for netstat -a -n, I can see that the VM is listening to 3389 (default Hyper V port, which makes sense).
Regarding Firewalls, all have been turned off on all machines. I can tell that the firewall is not the issue.
If you need any more information to help me to diagnose and treat the problem, please ask me as I would like to get this sorted as quickly as possible.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Which windows server version do you use?
Windows Server 2016 blocks insecure RDP connections (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4295591/credssp-encryption-oracle-remediation-error-when-to-rdp-to-azure-vm).
Since RDP uses CredSSP you have to install the current Windows Patches.
Do you can ping the DNS server by IP address from your VM?
Is ICMP (ICMP = the thing you need for ping) on your host enabled?
Here is a Checklist for ICMP:

Solved,
Just switched to another physical computer and it was fine.

SSH No Route to Host

I apologize for the novice question, but have been struggling on this for many hours. I am running Ubuntu Server on Ubuntu 16.04. I can ssh fine into local host (thus know ssh server is running)
However, when I try to log into my server externally, I get the error message shown below (yes I know port 22 is not secure):
I have enabled port 22 on my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and allowed the ListenAddress to be everything by leaving it empty (tried with other addresses), and ensured that my iptables are open:
Finally, I am using a static IP address. And ensuring that I am forwarding ports:
I am not including a port triggering as I do not believe that it is necessary?
What do I need to do to expose this server externally and be able to SSH into it? Any help is very much appreciated.
Solved, no responses required. My internal ip address that I had my port forwarding selected for was different than the internal ip address that my computer was on.

How do I get the external hosts ip address from inside a docker container

We are transitioning (we hope) from CoreOS to CentOS, from fleet to swarm. I need to determine the ip address of the machine running docker from inside the container.
The problem is that we use nginx to determine which of the machines in our docker cluster runs which service. To make this work we need the container to be able to post to our etcd repository the ip address of the machine upon which it is located. Everything I have seen so far has been able to get me to a 172.17.0.1 ip address for the external machine, but ALL of our containers on ALL of our dockers will have that private address. I need an EXTERNAL address that nginx may use to get to the service.
I could use the '--hostname ip ...' option or the '-e EXT_HOST_IP=ip ...' option to set an ip address, but if I include these in the 'docker run' command, the shell processing the docker command will expand the 'ip...' and return the ip address of the current machine -- NOT the machine upon which swarm will eventually run the container.
The best I have come up with so far is to create a file/directory on the host machine that contains the ip address of the host machine. I can then use the docker '-v' option to mount the directory inside the container, and get the ip address from that. It just seems like there should be an easier way to do this.
Swarm issue 1106 mentions in a recent answer
inside swarm I can get the ip of the host machine like so
ip route | awk '/default/ { print $3 }'
Which is fine for many purposes.
But when I talk to that IP I need to use the proper dns name for TLS to work.

Hostname not resolving to local IP address

I am running a Windows 8 VM inside of vmware Fusion. It runs inside a Mac running OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). The VM has a computer name of "Proud". When I ping the VM from within itself, i.e. ping -a 192.168.0.138 I get a response like:
Pinging Proud [192.168.0.138] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.138: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
However whenever I ping Proud from Yosemite, i.e. ping Proud I get a response like:
PING proud (199.101.28.130): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 199.101.28.130: icmp_seq=0 ttl=46 time=418.646 ms
The VM is using bridged networking.
Why does Proud resolve to that IP address? It is not correct and means I am unable to use the hostname (a necessity) so that I can connect to it from the Mac.
First, test and check with IP_address typed for ping from OSX 10.10 <host> terminal, so as to be independent of any DNS-service, that is responsible for a hostname translation of your <hostname> to a pre-configured IP_adress
Second, You say bridged -- thus check, that the VM has the very same network-part of the IP_address ( boundary is given by non-zero bits in subnet-mask
Check details with ifconfig resp. ipconfig

Best to post PrintScreens from {OSX|w8} terminals {ping|ipconfig|ifconfig} and the setup of VMnet
This seems to be a 'feature' of Mac OS. If I attempt to ping any hostname it will return the ping from this IP address - even if the hostname is fictional. I do not know why OS X does this.
This is called DNS hijacking and is done by a lot of ISPs out there to redirect you on incomplete or wrong browser address inputs and show you these custom pages with advertisment 'Hey, we couldn't find your webpage Aple.com but maybe you look for Apple.com?'
Maybe this is whats happening here. Btw, ISPs break RFCs here.
You need to check on your own /etc/host file. See if you might have done any changes to this file, to indicate the machine "Proud" comes as 192.168.0.138 or x.x.x.130? Next thing to ensure (user3666197 is actually right), you need to check on ifconfig to check if you have any connection have the IP address pointing to x.x.x.130 or x.x.x.138.
Last but not least, is there any virtual appliance or instance running of "proud" which might have caused confusion as it is possible for any virtual appliance or instance to get a IP address from the same segment as well, hence having "two" machines on the network?
Hope this helps. Check on your WINS config too...
