I'm trying to set up one of my computers as a server, but I can't connect to it externally. I can connect to it locally via another computer on the LAN. I have port 80 forwarded through my router (Netgear WNDR3700) to my server, and I have tried port 80 and port 10080 (also forwarded and set bound in IIS), but neither appear open on http://canyouseeme.org or connectable through a proxy (connection times out on both). I have tried connecting through both my dyndns domain and my router's external IP, and neither work. It's a windows machine running IIS and has a static IP on the router. I can't think of anything else to try, can anyone help? edit: Yep, I checked the guide before I posted :) My WAN IP is 76.24.101.153 and DynDNS hostname is http://stickcult.dyndns.org another edit: It started working tonight, and nothing has changed since then except updating the router's firmware. Maybe that's it? |

Please start with this guide. If it doesn't work edit your question to include:
And that WAN IP is shown in the management page for the Netgear (the results returned from IP check pages can be very wrong and shouldn't be used to answer this question)? The Windows PC can connect to the Internet? Do you have an ADSL modem?
Quite possibly, it may have been a fault with the router (either it's update client or it's port forwarding) that was fixed with the new firmware. edited to include that info

Yes the WAN IP is from the router. The PC can connect to the internet. I have cable internet (from Comcast), I don't think that's ADSL.

Well, something happened in the 22 hours since I posted this question and it all works now. I can get to my server now from across the internet on port 80... Thanks for the help anyway!

I use port 8010 for port forwarding as it is rarely blocked my residential ISPs Here are the step to setting this up: (some steps you have already completed) 1) Make sure your dyndns setting are set in netgear router under Advanced/Dynamic DNS 2) Netgear Router Port Forward -Add custom service (Service Name: Webserver, Type: TCP, Start Port: 8010 ; End Port: 8010) -Add firewall rule (Service Type: Webserver, Action: ALLOW ALWAYS, Send to LAN: 192.0.0.2 (your webserver LAN ip), WAN Users: ANY, Log: Always) 3)setup a dyndns hostname: eg: http://yourserver1.dyndns.org set to use Host IP address 4)setup another dyndns hostname: eg: http://yourserver2.dyndns.org except this time setup webhop using redirect url: http://yourserver1.dyndns.org:8010 You should then reach your webserver at: http://server2.dyndns.org (This is off the op of my head you will find more details in the wiki) |
