I am working on a sample which send file to server. To send file to server I am using WinHttpSendRequest() API. In my machine It worked fine. But for some other machine it is not working. It gives the error ERROR_WINHTTP_CANNOT_CONNECT(12029). I checked the Firewall setting; it is same as my machine.
Please let me know why I am getting this error.
Update: once after searching in the net, I think firewall is blocking the connection. I installed 3rd party Firewall and blocked all network operation in firewall. Once after blocking, I got 12029 errors.
My question is: is it possible to identify weather our request is blocked by firewall?
Please help me to solve this problem.
You could use the Windows Firewall API to check if certain ports are open or if your program has access. You can also use the API to configure the firewall to allow your program access if neccessary. Here are a few examples of using the interface:

Apparently my machine won't send out emails using the Mailing APIs(PHPmailer,Swift) and even PHP's own mail() function. But whenever I run my emailing script on another machine, it works with no errors.
Tried it on other machines such as my univ's pcs, friend's pc and my other laptop.
Fatal error: Uncaught Swift_TransportException: Connection could not be
established with host smtp.gmail.com
Tried everything,but still to no avail on my current machine.
What this tells you is that there is nothing wrong with your script, but that your hosting provider blocks outbound SMTP. This is a very common problem, and it's covered extensively in the PHPMailer troubleshooting guide.
How you actually fix it depends on your ISP - it may be that you just need to ask them to unblock it (Scaleway), or that you need to send via their servers (GoDaddy), or in the worst case, that you need to find a new hosting provider...
I am testing with the v2 C# payment example.
https://github.com/petespatio/connect-api-examples/tree/master/connect-examples/v2/csharp_payment/PaymentExample
When i run locally everything works properly and i can actually create a payment.
When i try to run on my website (1and1 hosted), i get
error calling charge: unable to connect to the remote server
Does anyone know what has to be done to allow this connection?
Regards
Have you tried pining the server you are connecting to? That's a good place to start. Try:
ping connect.squareup.com
To see if you can connect at all. If you can't ping the server, it might be a firewall issue on your server.
1&1 has information about setting firewall rules on their hardware firewalls for their dedicated linux servers here:

Hope this helps!
Unable to do the windows update through batch patch. When I tried to check for available updates, some instances are showing the error message as “Error 1601: Failed to retrieve WMI info. The RPC server is unavailable".
I have tried the below troubleshooting steps for those instances which are showing error.
1. Windows Firewall – opened ports 135 and 445
2. Checked the RPC service to see if it is running and set to automatic
3. If the instance is stopped, we have left it alone
Followed this KB https://batchpatch.com/troubleshooting-common-errors-in-batchpatch no luck. Anyone who has experience or idea what is wrong please guide me.
It's peculiar that you would post on stackoverflow rather than contacting BatchPatch support directly (https://batchpatch.com/contact) or posting on the support forum (https://batchpatch.com/forum).
The page that you linked (batchpatch.com/troubleshooting-common-errors-in-batchpatch) contains additional links for troubleshooting the 'RPC server is unavailable' error. It specifically points to these two links:
batchpatch.com/using-batchpatch-with-windows-firewall
batchpatch.com/batchpatch-ports
It is not sufficient to just open 135 and 445 in the Windows Firewall. You must open 'File and Printer sharing' and 'Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).' In your case, probably the error is occurring because you did not open 'Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).'
The above link also further explains:
In order for WMI to work properly… The target computer must be able to
receive and process RPC (Remote Procedure Call) requests. Both the WMI
and RPC services must be running on the target computer. If you’re
using Windows Firewall on the target computer, then please follow the
instructions on this page to configure it properly: Using BatchPatch
with Windows Firewall
(batchpatch.com/using-batchpatch-with-windows-firewall).
If you are using a hardware firewall, the configuration for WMI can
potentially be a bit trickier, depending on the particular firewall
device. WMI connections, by default, are not established on a
static/fixed port. Instead WMI uses dynamic port configuration for its
connections, which means that the actual ports used for a given
connection are established on-the-fly at the time of connection. Each
connection will end up using different ports. In the context of a
classic hardware firewall, this used to be a problem because hardware
firewalls would typically require any open ports to be configured
manually. An enterprise firewall administrator could never know in
advance which ports would need to be opened. However, fortunately many
modern firewalls now implement DCE/RPC, which solves this problem and
allows the use of dynamic ports for WMI/RPC. If you have a network
level hardware firewall in place between the BatchPatch computer and
the target computers, you’ll need to configure it to allow DCE/RPC, so
that it can open the necessary ports, on-the-fly, for each WMI
connection. More info on DCE/RPC can be found at the following two
links:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCE/RPC

Very new to the Self Host WebApi, but I am very impressed with its ease of use and extendability. At least through this tutorial. Everything I've done so far works on my development machine whether I use localhost, 127.0.0.1, or my LAN Ip (192.168.0.x) but I am baffled why I can't access the service from any other computer even others in the same subnet.
In short after going through the tutorial on the machine where it is running:
Browsing to
localhost:3636/api/products/
results in the expected xml return.
On another machine on the LAN browsing to:
192.168.0.x:3636/api/products/
results in a timeout
Data points for those who might know how this all interacts:
1.) My dev machine(192.168.0.x, server, host whatever you want to call it) has IIS on it; I was so paranoid it was in the way that I stopped it via the Administration GUI
2.) I have reserved the URL/Port with the following command line executions:
>netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:3636/ user=DOMAIN\USER listen=yes delegate=yes
>netsh http add urlacl url=http://192.168.0.x:3636/ user=DOMAIN\USER listen=yes delegate=yes
2.b) I've tried both of those together and individually, and tried changing the user to "everyone" to no avail
3.) I have tried to change the code in the tutorial to set the
config.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.Exact //default is Strong Wildcard
4.) I can successfully ping and tracert to 192.168.0.x from other machines on the LAN
5.) A friend recommended I setup a TCPListener and ensure I could telnet to that to eliminate the firewall as a possibility. If that logic is sound, the firewall isn't the problem
EDIT: Thanks for your help, here's another data point that I believe confirms it's not a firewall issue. I previously posted this connection when behind a rather obtuse (at least to a non Certified guy like me) Juniper Firewall/Router. I have since redone the tutorial on another machine (without IIS) on my home network and still cannot publish the service to other computers within my LAN. Any ideas?
Well it wasn't the hardware firewall, it was the windows firewall! yikes i wasted a bunch of time on that. Once I turned off the windows firewall (the code runs in an intranet anyway) everything worked.
Anyone know of a good site that explains how firewalls and wireshark interact; or i suppose that just has to be one's first test.
I would try a couple things:
First off, get rid of the HostNameComparisonMode line. That might actually disable requests coming from other machines.
If things still don't work, try getting rid of the URL ACLs and run your application as an administrator and see if that works. If that works, you may be able to add the URL ACL back on and not have to run as an administrator. You should only need the one with '+' as the hostname.
I faced the same problem when i tried to self host using OWIN. What worked for me was -
Run Visual Studio as an Admin
Remove any and all netsh urlacl port registrations that I had added while debugging this issue
Add a inbound rule to my windows firewall
I followed the instructions on this link
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wcf/samples/firewall-instructions
Check out the section - To enable a port range in advance
That's it! I was able to call my api from other computers on the network.
Hope this helps...
I have a strange problem, I just installed my php web site on a shared hosting, all services were working fine. But after configuring my app I just could visit my web site only once, other attempts gives:
"The server is taking too long to respond.".
But from other IP i can access, but only once, it seems all ip addressess beeing blocked after first visit(even ftp and other services get down, no access at all from the IP), can anyone help to explore this problem ? I don't think that it's my app problem, the app works fine on my local PC.
Thanks.
First thing to try would be a traceroute to determine where your traffic is being blocked.
In a windows command prompt:
tracert www.yoursharedhostingserver.com
At the moment, trying to access this address gives this:
Fatal error: Class 'mainController'
not found in
/home/myicms/public_html/core/application/crApplication.class.php
on line 181
I have tried it multiple times and it didn't block me. It might be that You have already solved this problem.
As far as I know, the behavior described by You could only be explained by a badly configured intelligent firewall. It may have been misconfigured by Your host.
If You visit a site at a certain host and suddenly You cannot access an ftp on this host, then it's either a (really bad) firewall or a (very mean) site that explicitly adds a firewall rule to ignore that address.
Some things that You might look into:
It might be something with identd too. What was the service You have configured on Your host? Was it by any chance any kind of server-controll panel (that might have an ability to controll a firewall)?
Is the blockade permanent, or does it go off after 24h, or does it only go off after rebooting the server? Does restarting some services makes the blockade go off?
Did You install any software that "protects Your server from portscanning"? It might be a bit too aggressive.
I wish You good luck in finding a source of this problem!
Chances are that if you can access it once that its actually working. The problem is more than likely in the php code than in the server.
