This is quite a weird issue I'm facing, something I've never even heard of.
I have 2 hosting accounts on liquidweb's servers. Both shared. At home, I'm not able to access sites on one account. At work, I'm not able to access the sites on the other account. Both work and home have the same ISP.
When I can't access, the multiple browsers I've tested on just can't connect, with the error "Failed to connect". Everything else works just fine. Pinging also times out.
I'm using a macbook pro if it helps.
Spoke to the support. Apparently my ip's were blacklisted by their firewalls when I failed to login in to the cPanel after a few attempts. And ironically, I'd forgotten them at home, and workplace seperately (thanks to my password app failing).
All sorted. Thanks for the trouble guys.

I created an app with the above mention technologies, and I hosted it on local server of XAMPP, now I'm trying to figure out how to share this checkout system app with 4 other coworkers, so they can easily access the app on their on PC and checkout equipment to other customers when I'm not around.
We are all on the same network, wired LAN.
Thanks for any help.
This solved what I'm basically trying to do, because all computers where on the same network.
I did IPCONFIG, in cmd to view my IPV4, then went to a different PC, knowing my IP4V, I went into a browser on a different PC and did
http://192.168.XX.XXX/SomeFolderInSidehtcdoc/myappfolder/index.php
and behold it opened, I entered data into it, and checked out my database and same data were available.
Here's a super doozy I can't figure out.
Windows 7 Home
I connect to work using Citrix desktop. I access a secure html site using my domain credentials, which triggers a download and starts Citrix
This worked normally up until this morning. I lost network connectivity when my router started behaving badly. After regaining the internet, I attempted to login, but was told my credentials were invalid and locked out. I tried chrome, Firefox and ie. Same result. I assumed i mistyped and got myself locked out.
Call to the network admin told me my account was fine.
Retried, still no joy. On a hunch, I switched to my wife's old profile on my computer since she used to work on it, and she uses the same Citrix desktop receiver.
Signed in as her, got to the desktop, opened ie, hit the same site, entered my credentials... Success! Authenticated and download initiated. Retried in Firefox and chrome, same story. No issues when logged into my wife's profile.
Logged out, logged back in as me, tried again, invalid credentials/locked out message.
So, I know my account isn't locked out. Admin confirmed, and I can access it through my wife's. It's not a browser issue, because all 3 work on my wife's windows profile.
Network adapter settings, firewall settings, router settings are all global so if it doesn't affect my wife's local profile, it shouldn't affect mine.
Why would my profile be failing the authentication process outrigh?. I'm convinced it's not even sending the credentials through, just failing outright. But I don't know why?
I'm going to attempt DNS flush tonight and if that fails, try an earlier system restore point. But I'll take any suggestions under advisement while i use my wife's local account as a work around.
Thx in advance.
So dumb.
Wife's local URL was slightly different. Her bookmark was simply:
www.[companyname].com/remote
which resolved to a much longer URL starting with:
assist.[companyname].com/Auth/XenApp/....
and i stupidly just typed in:
assist.[companyname].com
which resolved to
assist.[companyname].com/Auth/Xen[Company]/....
and thats all she wrote.
I've been happily using Team Foundation Server with Visual Studio 2010 for the last couple of months at my current place of work when it has suddenly stopped working. I get the following errors:
If I browse to the wiki (Sharepoint) on the TFS server it works fine in Firefox but in Internet Explorer it fails with:
No authority could be contacted for authentication.
I'm not aware of any changes to the server or my machine that would cause the errors and other users of TFS are not affected.
The TFS server is on a different domain to my machine, but usually I get prompted to login and using a domain prefixed username works. At the moment, I don't even get a login prompt anymore.
How do I fix this?
I have recently started to experience a similar issue. We also host TFS on a different domain. Twice in the last week TFS has stopped authenticating users, and I have received messages similar to above. I have no idea what is causing this, but on each occasion SQL Server Agent service was stopped. A reboot of the server and a manual restart of SQL Server agent seems to fix the problem temporarily. I'm not sure if this information is helpful, but I would also really appreciate any help in getting to the bottom of this.
We used a workaround to get past this problem. We configured an entry in the Windows Stored User Names and Passwords tool for the domain of the TFS server. It got around the problem of TFS not prompting for credentials by explicitly supplying them via this tool.
When you change your password for that domain account, you must also change the password here otherwise your account can be locked after failing authentication too many times.
I had the same problem, sorted it by upgrading to tfs2012
In my case, I changed the default port 8080 to port 80 and everything worked fine. but the message could also happen due to wrong saved credentials. you can go to the control panel of the windows and search for credentials manager and then remove your TFS credentials.
I am facing a problem that I discovered while I was implementing a small client/host application.
The client side runs Windows 7 64-bit and machine never turns off but user is automatically logged off after 30 minutes of inactivity. When user is automatically logged off the host becomes unreachable, first I thought the problem was isolated to my application, but after som investigation I discovered that resources and vnc server is also unavailable.
The question might be a bit off limit for this forum but I can't find any reasonable explanation somewhere else. Does anyone know how I can keep user being logged off automatically but with the host still reachable on the network?
You need to have them as services.
Are you connecting to some port opened by a server/service which runs as the user? If so, that's the reason. To circumvent, you need to have the service installed/started independently of the user, for entire machine (using administrator priviledges)
I've installed TFS 2008, but I can't seem to access the server. When I try to connect to it in Visual Studio, I can't. If I try by browser on a remote PC, I get a generic page cannot be displayed. On the server, I get a 403. Nothing was touched in IIS and the service is running as a Network Service. Any ideas?
try:
http://localhost:8080/Services/V1.0/ServerStatus.asmx. This will tell you if TFS is up and running. If you are getting anything else you need to look into IIS issues.
I wrote a blog post on diagnosing these types of TFS connections.
http://blogs.msdn.com/granth/archive/2008/06/26/troubleshooting-connections-to-tfs.aspx
The very first thing I do is confirm that it works for a known-good configuration – usually my workstation.
Providing that works and the server appears to be functioning, the next thing I do is ask the user to call the CheckAuthentication web service using Internet Explorer.
The URL for this is: http://TFSSERVER:8080/services/v1.0/ServerStatus.asmx?op=CheckAuthentication
By doing this check, I am doing four things:
Eliminating Team Explorer from the picture
Eliminating the .NET networking stack from the picture
Ensuring that Windows Authentication is working correctly (that’s why I say IE)
Ensuring that proxy settings are set correctly
In most cases I’ve seen, the TFS connection issues are because the proxy settings have changed or are incorrect. Because .NET and Visual Studio use the proxy settings from Internet Explorer, it’s important to have them set correctly.
In rare cases it’s beyond this. That’s when I start looking at things like:
Can you resolve the server name?
Can you connect using the IP address?
Are there HOSTS file entries? (see: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)
Can you ping the server?
Can you telnet to port 8080?
Does the user actually have access? Run TfsSecurity.exe /server:servername /im n:DOMAIN\User to check their group memberships
Have you changed your domain password lately? In some cases they’ll need to logoff the workstation and log back on again to get a new security token.
Is the computer's domain certificate valid? update the certificate: gpupdate /force
Hope this helps.
Turns out the time and date on my computer was not "close enough" to the time and date on the tfs server. Changed my system clock setting and problem went away.
What happens if you send a simple HTTP request to the server directly?
ie:
telnet 8080 [enter]
GET / HTTP/1.1[enter]
[enter]
[enter]
That might give a hint about whether IIS is actually serving anything. If you can do that on the server, what about from a different machine? If the results are different a good guess is there are some security/firewall issues somewhere. HTH a little.
I went through everything on a similar problem.
I logged onto my tfs server and connected directly there.
I also used a TFS admin tool I downloaded some time ago from Microsoft, and made sure I was in all the right groups and projects.
I then went back to the client PC with the problem, tried the services/1.0/serverstatus.asmx?op=CheckAuthentication Url again, and it worked this time.
AFter that full service was restored to my PC.
So I don't have the exact answer, but I would go through the checklists presented by Grant Holliday in his answer.
Add this to the cases for future users, as i had this issue on server 2016...
if your firewall allow only Domain and Private Network, it may not work on client. make sure you give public permission, if server network is set to public...
