I have hosted a site on iis manager and access it locally,but when i access the site on another machine it is giving the error that the server was taking too long to respond.So any suggestion for this that could help me out.
When your other machine is on LAN, you'll have to edit the Hosts file of each computer and add your domain name's entry resolving IIS web server IP address.Thus all LAN systems will know to which IP address to send the request to when your website is browsed.
Hosts file is located at path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I'm hosting a website on Windows Server 2012 R2. I'm able to access the site with no problem via the assigned ip address and as long as I'm on my home network. However, when I try to access the site using a public ip address, it defaults to my NAS (MyBookLive).
Baffled.
Thanks.
This is intentional.
When a user connects to your ip address, any inbound requests are blocked for security. You would need to open ports on your home router (most likely 80 and 443) and direct the traffic to an internal ip address.
Even if you do this, it is very likely that it would not work. Most residential internet providers do not allow you to host web/mail servers on the internet. If someone compromises your webserver, they would have access to your entire network.
You are better off with a dedicated hosting provider (AWS, Amazon, Google Cloud).
Is it possible to block website from DNS Level. Is it possible to create DNS server in windows server 2012?
I know you can do it pre-DNS pevel. Prior to DNS lookup, windows will check the hosts file for IP to domain mapping. You can set facebook.com to 192.168.1.1 and it will use that ip for facebook rather than looking it up in DNS, and thus blocking it. This would require modifying the host file on every machine you want to sensor though. Its a file in the system32 folder.
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 just moved to a VPS server. I have uploaded my files to httpdcos/ but then when I access my website, it still shows the server default page.
How do I fix this?
My website is at 216.87.168.104 - the server runs Parallels Plesk.
It happens because apache doesn't serves your website on IP to which your domain name resolved.
Check IP of your domain:
nslookup <yourdomain.tld>
Check output of apachectl -S - make sure that domain name is served on resolved IP address
We are a small, 300-seat organization with a mixed BYOD and Active Directory environment (Windows Server 2012 Standard, Windows 7 Enterprise) and we are having a very strange problem involving very specific-scope failures to resolve our organization's domain name on our domain-joined, company-controlled machines. For the purpose of this discussion, I'll use company.com instead of our domain name.
Background:
Active Directory Domain Controller is located at 172.16.1.3
The AD/DC machine is also running DHCP, DNS, and HTTP (IIS)
Our organizations websites at company.com and subdomain.company.com are hosted by IIS on the AD/DC machine
We have a split-DNS scenario in which the AD/DC server is used for internal DNS resolution but a different, off-site server provides DNS resolution for public queries
The IP address corresponding to company.com and subdomain.company.com is the public IP address used by a firewall at the edge of our network (both on the AD/DC DNS server and the off-site DNS server)
The firewall is correctly configured for NAT to pass HTTP and HTTPS requests it receives on its public IP address to the internal IP of the AD/DC server and reflects
Scenario 1:
A user on a domain-joined Windows 7 Enterprise machine is connected directly to our local network with local address 172.16.6.100 /16, issued by the DHCP server.
The DNS server entry is provided by DHCP (172.16.1.3)
This user is able to access the websites hosted at company.com and subdomain.company.com
Edit: nslookup has been run in this scenario and correctly returns the proper DNS record from the internal DNS server (172.16.1.3)
Scenario 2:
The same user on the same domain-joined Windows 7 Enterprise machine goes home and connects to the Internet using their residential ISP
The IP and DNS server entries for the client machine are provided by DHCP
This user can access any internet resources, such as google.com
This user cannot access the website at company.com or subdomain.company.com (a "host not resolved" error is returned)
When this user runs nslookup on company.com they DO receive the correct public IP address provided by DNS
HTTP/HTTPS requests to the IP address succeed and a webpage is returned properly by the server
This issue prevails across all web browsers
Using tracert company.com returns "unable to resolve target system name"
Using ping company.com returns "could not find host company.com"
When running Wireshark on the client before/during a failed request, no packets are sent by the client machine (either for DNS resolution or for an initial HTTP/ping/tracert request)
Restarting the DNS Client service does not resolve the problem
Stopping the DNS Client service does not resolve the problem
Using ipconfig /flushdns does not resolve this issue
Using route /f does not resolve this issue
Resetting the network connections using netsh int ip reset does not resolve this issue
Edit: nslookup has been run in this scenario and correctly returns the proper DNS record from the DNS server specified by the DHCP settings of the network used by the user
Scenario 3:
This same user on a personal (not domain-joined) Windows 7 Professional computer is able to access the websites at company.com and subdomain.company.com when connected to our local network
Edit: nslookup has been run in this scenario and correctly returns the proper DNS record from the internal DNS server (172.16.1.3)
Scenario 4:
This same user on a personal (not domain-joined) Windows 7 Professional computer is able to access the websites at company.com and subdomain.company.com when connected their home network
Edit: nslookup has been run in this scenario and correctly returns the proper DNS record from the DNS server specified by the DHCP settings of the network used by the user
Final Notes:
This issue seems to be generalized to affect all company-owned computers. We are using a common system image for all company-owned computers, which was just loaded in August. I have been scouring the internet in search of possible solutions and have come up empty handed so far -- I really appreciate any suggestions or advice you may have.
This is quite an interesting scenario. Looking at your scenario 3, user with personal computer can access the services but why is the DNS entry coming from your corporate IP and not users home DNS. Is the machine on company network?
Verify this:
When user tries to access service from home on company computer, is the IP details from home internet router or company network via VPN?
