I have installed xampp server on my windows 7.
I am connecting internet using HUAWEI Dongle.
I don't have any static IP address.i Want to access my php file from internet example I have connected to internet now I have dynamic IP address like 100.101.73.240 if some one enter 100.101.73.240/home.php in his browser address bar then my home.php page should open in his browser.
What should I do for this give me step by step guide.
Local Ip can't work over the internet. It's your intranet network. If you have dynamic internet IP, then you simply configure the Dynamic DNS service. Which you can configure your Internet Router with the following settings (provided by the Dynamic DNS service providers).
dyn.com
noip.com
dynu.com
many more.
Thanks
If you want to share IP with someone from your local area network:
Go to cmd, run ipconfig command, and find your local IP, which should be like 192.168.xxx.yyy. You can easily share it with no worries it will change each time you reset your network.
If it's someone from external network:
You have no power to share your external IP if you have dynamic one, it will change too often, but still it should work for a short connection sessions. To obtain a stable address you would have to register a domain

I have set up a new NAS using Open Media Vault. I have installed the WebMin extension to get on to the web gui for configuration. My problem is that I have to be on the same network as my NAS. How can I connect to my NAS from a different network than it is connected to? On the network that it is connected to its IP is 192.168.0.99:1000 for the WebMin gui. How can I access this from a different network?
Setup a VPN to connect to the network that your NAS is on. Once the VPN is connected you can connect to the NAS as if you were on the local network.
You could also possibly setup firewall and/or port forwarding rules depending on how your network is setup but please consider the security issues when doing so.
You could alternatively also try to open the NAS and give it a public IP address and a DNS. This will allow you to setup SSH and FTP as it was any other server.
To SSH remotely over the internet, you need either a permanent IP address or a domain name that is updated to point to the IP address when it changes. The latter requires a dynamic domain name service. A good free one is DuckDNS (duckdns.org). First, use one of the sign-in options such as Google. In the domain line enter your preferred subdomain name.
There is a great guide on how you can do this here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-how-to-access-your-freenas-server-remotely-and-securely.27376/
I have a piece of code where an external API needs to access my "www" folder for images. When I load the url, "http://localhost:8001/images/1.jpg" from the browser, it does show the image. But when I access it through the code it says, "connection refused". I have turned off the firewall as well. I also tried using the IP address instead of the "localhost".That doesn't work either. Please help.
Remember the domain name localhost has a special meaning. It always means this PC, or more accurately this network cards loopback address.
I cannot access your PC from here using the domain name localhost, as it will always be looped back to my PC.
If you want an external site to make a call to your PC then there are a number of things you will have to do.
Buy yourself an domain name, you either buy a real one or use a Dynamic DNS service like dyndns.com or or noip.com
Or you use your routers WAN ip address.
Then you must amend the httpd.conf file so that Apache allows access
from all ipaddress's
Then you must Port Forward your Router so the the NAT firewall allows
external accesses on port 80 to be forwarded to the internal PC
running Apache, and only that PC.
And possibly amend your software firewall on the Apache PC to allow access from external sources on port 80
I am creating an android client app connected to a Java server using sockets. At the moment I am working both on my pc. How can I upload my Java server to an online server so I can set my app to friends and test it?
I used OpenShift but could figure our how and if I can use it for what I want.
Also I looked at Amazon ec2, but they need credit card information, something that I would prefer not sharing for this.
Is there any way I can do this for free?
Thanks
Make sure you have a computer able to connect to the internet, and that can run 24/7. Then run your server on that computer, assume you run it on port 8080. Make sure that your host computer's IP address is it to static, otherwise DHCP will give it a different IP every time it connects to the router.
To allow your friends to connect, unless if they're on the same LAN as your host, you will need to port forward port 80 -> ComputerIP:8080 on your router. Once that's done, you will need to retrieve your router's global IPv4 address from it's configuration page and then send that to your friends.
If they're on the same LAN as your host, then you can just give them the IP address of your host computer.
If you port forwarded your server and you would like to get a host name, like stackoverflow.com, you're going to need to buy that from whoever owns the host name you would like to use. I don't know many details about how to update the DNS servers though.
If your server is local and you would like a host name, then just go onto your router configurations page and tell it to automatically assign each computer the default gateway as the primary DNS and then add a mapping in the router's DNS settings to map the host name to your computer's local IPv4 address. Note that not all routers support this feature.
Edit: You'll also need a good bandwidth to support multiple simultaneous connections.
I have a high speed cable internet connection at home. I have D-link router, and I connect 2 computers, one is a desktop running Windows XP, the other is a laptop running Windows 7. I am perfectly able to use internet on both computers.
Now I want to host my personal web site from my home computer. I have already built the site that is running on my home network. Now I want to make it accessible from internet. I did all the procedures to open the appropriate ports on my router, allow incoming connections, and port forwarding setup, using the router's guide : http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20826L/Manual/DIR_826L_MANUAL_EN_UK.pdf .
However I am still not able to see my web site from public internet.
When I try to go to my site using my local IP address (192.168.0.103) or computer name, the site is loaded on other home computer, but when I try the same using my public IP address (found with "what is my ip" on google search), I get "Page cannot be loaded" error.
Can someone please help me telling what I am doing wrong, and how the problem can be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Are you attempting to hit your WAN IPaddress from inside your house, aka, on the lan that the WAN would hit? It could be NAT Reflection/lack thereof getting in your way. Make sure you're trying to hit your WAN IP from a network outside of your local network. If you have a phone, turn off wifi, and use your phone.
Besides that, you've listed all of the basic steps necessary. Should the above not be the problem, I would start by checking your PCs firewall. In particular on Windows 7 checking to make sure you click real hard on that "public networks" button. Then just try and ping port 80, not load the webpage. If you can't ping, it suggests configuration issues with your router/connection. If you can, there's just some configuration that's effed up with your webserver.
I googled, followed all the instructions but still stuck, and unable to create a home ftp server.
My internet is from dsl modem -> vonage router -> wifi router
FileZilla server ip is 127.0.0.1 and it works fine when tried from command prompt. But I need it to be accessible from outside.
I enabled ftp on wifi router's web settings page using virtual server setting.
I am stuck at this point, I don't know what else to do further. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, if you are planning on accessing your server remotely, (not in your network) you will have to enable port forwarding on your router. (Use the ip address of the machine running the server and use port 21) Otherwise, you only be able to connect while in your LAN.
This pretty much summarizes your needs(via lifehacker.com)
If you're FTP'ing across your home
network (like from your upstairs PC to
your bedroom PC), you can reach the
server by using its internal network
address (most likely something like
192.168.xx.xx.) From the command line, type ipconfig to see what that address
is. If you want to log into your FTP
server over the internet, set up a
memorable URL for it and allow
connections from outside your network.
To do so, check out how to assign a
domain name to your home server and
how to access your home server behind
a router and firewall.

You need to be able to access your internal network from the internet. Consider using a service like dynDNS if your router supports it.
