I am trying to remotely access a web application hosted on the office LAN.
I have setup LogMeIN Hamachi and I can connect to an office machine and see shared resources (folders and printers) on that machine.
I selected a Hub-and-spoke network and made the machine with the web app the hub.
While in the office I type http://192.168.1.6:8080/mituz_oc in my browser to get access to the web app.
However, when I try to do the same remotely I get the message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.6:8080."
So I see that the IP address to the computer I have VPN-ed to is 5.14.212.196 and so I try to gain access to the web app by replacing the office LAN's IP with the Hamachi IP (I can only post one hyperlink hence the verbose alternative )
I get the same error message as before, only this time with the HAMACHI IP address.
I can access all the shared resources but can not access the web app.
Is it possible to do what am attempting - remotely access a web application on office server?
If so what am I doing wrong / not doing ?
TIA.

1) Check if your Windows Personal Firewall setting blocks connections from Hamachi's 5.x.x.x IP address ranges.
2) Check if your Web Server listens on 5.x.x.x. You can find it out by this command:
netstat -na
Look for local address of "0.0.0.0:8080" which is in the state of "LISTENING".
3) Replace Hamachi with different VPN provider, like www.remobo.com

I developed an asp.net mvc website and deployed it to my local IIS with success. I can access to the website by localhost:8080/site
I wanted to access the website from remote pc, I binded my website to the ip of my pc (windows 10) (the external ip with the routeur), I added a rule to the inbound calls for the port of the website with the windows firewall manager but I can't access the website remotely by the address http://ip-adress:port/website, I get timeout error.
How can I access this website
regards,
We made a VS Extension called Conveyor, you can get it from the extensions dialog or https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-1448185.ConveyorbyKeyoti it tunnels through firewalls to allow access to your website from outside, even if incoming calls are blocked by your ISP, as mentioned in the comments.
We copied a web application in IIS. When I browse using local host the application is working.We would like to access the same application in another computer within the network without Internet.
The hosted PC will act as a dummy server and the client computer should access the application smoothly as localhost surfing.
Please help.If we put the IP Address the application can access.Is there any another option to access the application within the network without IP browsing.
It is really depends from your local network configuration. Do you have a DNS? Anyways, you can try to reach your server by its computer name (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System).
Recenly a network card was intalled on the server so that I can have a new IP address for my application.
Whend deploying the application on the server using IIS (using the "add site" feature) and then test the site , the site works perfectly fine from withtin the server
but when I try to access it from outside the server I get the message saying that the site is not reachable
any reason why this is happening ?
Sounds like a firewall issue. First make sure the windows firewall isn't blocking IIS. Also make sure your IT team has setup that IP address as an external server.
A few other questions about your server
1) What type of services are you hosting and is it on the standard ports? (Exhaustive list of ports on Wikipedia)
2) What version of IIS are you using?
3) Do you have a firewall/load balancer/etc between your server and the web?
My webapplication hosted on windows azure, needs to communicate with TFS Server. When any one login to my web app using live id, I want the logged in user to use my Team foundation server(TFS) credentials -username,password and domain to programatically authenticate and connect to our TFS server and create some work items.
I configured my azure connect for the communication to happen between azure WebRole and TFS server (our TFS is non-azure ).I added both the WebRole and the TFS Server into single Connection Group
In my azureportal ,I can see mywebrole and my TFSServer as connected the machine endpoint is active, and that it refreshes since the last connected updates
.But when I try to run my web application from azure and when it tries to communicate with our TFS server ,its throwing error message saying Error message : Team Foundation services are not available from server eg.,http://xyz-abcxyx-01:8080/tfs/eas/. Technical information (for administrator): The remote name could not be resolved: 'xyz-abcxyx-01'
Any suggestions to resolve this issue ?
You should enable remote desktop on your WebRole and connect to one of your instances. Then, try to ping the IP of your TFS server (not the hostname xyz-abcxyx-01). Maybe this is simply a DNS issue (even though using hostnames works with Windows Azure Connect).
If pinging the IP works, but pinging the hostname doesn't work you have a few options left:
Use the IP instead of the hostname. This won't work if you configured your TFS to use host headers.
Create an elevated startup task to modify the hosts file and map the IP to the hostname. In your code you can keep working with the hostname.
Try to modify the DNS server configured in your WebRole to use the default DNS server + your internal DNS server. But to me this doesn't look like a clean solution.
Anyways, in each solution you'll want to store the IP/hostname in the ServiceConfiguration and make sure your code supports changes to the ServiceConfiguration. This will allow you to change the IP/hostname without having to redeploy.
You should check if TFS server is listening on all network interfaces, include the one created by Azure Connect (start with 2a01). Next try to connect to TFS from a machine on the local LAN, just to make sure it is configured correctly. You don't need to use IP for referring to TFS, DNS name is definitely supported out of box.
I have Deployed my Asp.net web application on IIS 7.0 on localMachine(Server) and it is working fine there.
But when i try to access it from other machine in LAN, It gives me error that, 'Internet Explorer Can Not find this Page.'
I am accessing it on terminals using server name address and also tried using IP address.
Even I have Shared the Application Folder in network.
Check the Windows Firewall on your Vista PC. You need to let TCP port 80 through.
Make sure that you enable the firewall and bind to IP addresses other than localhost.
You don't need to and should not share the application folder.
This is a security risk as people on the network will be able to access the source code of the application. Also, it won't help with the problems you're having because a network share is not accessed over HTTP and so will never hit IIS and your web application. So you can turn off sharing for the folder and be safe in the knowledge that this isn't the issue.
Next, check your windows firewall and make sure incomming web trafic is allowed ("http" or "port 80").
Next I would have a look at the host headers that the site is running on.
Then maybe update your question with more detail.

You may also want to ensure that IIS is listening on the correct IP Address. This problem can occur if you switch from a LAN connection to a wireless connection (for example when taking a work laptop home).
To Check this, open inetmgr and right-click on the 'Default Web Site' node. Verify that the IP Address entry is set to the current IP of your machine.
