I tried to connect to an IIS from WiFi but I couldn't although I succeeded connecting to it while that device was connecting to the router via LAN.
How should I change the router settings to connect to other devices localhost when all the devices are connected to the router via WiFi?
Router model: TP-link TD-W8901N
As far as I know, without using the DNS server, you couldn't access the web sites by using localhost url.
The only way you could access the site is using the ip address and the right port number.
You could firstly run ipconfig in the cmd tool on the IIS server.
Then you will record the IP address and the site's port number.
At last, you could use the IP address and the site prot number to access the sites.
Thr url like this: http://192.168.1.3:8098

I have installed IIS server on Windows 7 professional.
I am able to access the server using IP lets say 172.8.5.1 but when I try to ping the site outside of company network I get a network error (tcp_error)
Any one knows what needs to happen in order to access it over WWW?
Make sure that you have a static IP adresse,and then authorize incoming http request on port 80 from your router or your firewall.But the ip adresse should be accessible by internet
I am running a webserver (eg: tomcat7) in vmplayer guest, with NAT and I am able to view the webserver from guest using it's hostname:port but host browser is unable to connect to this webserver. Any idea? Is there any specific network configuration that needs to be done for host to connect to guest?
Note: I used ifconfig and got ip address from eth8, but ping request times out all the time.

Update
I also had to add entries in both machines hosts file for DNS
Change the network settings to use Bridged. That will connect to your router and get an IP off DHCP which your Host will be able to see. NAT is using your host address.
How would I get the LAN IP of a user connected to my node.js app ?
I can get the WAN IP, but not sure how to get the LAN IP. I tried this
How can I get the local IP address in Node.js?
but all it does is give the LAN IP of the machine the node app is running on.
I have IIS running and on my internal network it functions correctly. When trying to access it externally (either with direct IP or dyndns hostname) I always get redirected to my router log in page.
I've set up an IP on the host machine (192.168.1.29) and forwarded port 80 on my router. Also I have set an in bound rule to allow port 80 in Windows firewall.
When the router firewall is in default mode I cannot access my machine externally "Webpage not available"
Disabling the firewall gives me a HTTPS security certificate warning and when accepted directs to the router login page.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Sounds like your router is running its management pages on port 80. See if it has an option to change the port number for those pages.
Facts:
I have the public ip address of my router that is static that i got from my ISP(internet service provider).
I also have a web server with windows server 2008 r2 edition.
I have my domain pointed at the public ip address of the router.
Question:
how do i set the web server up, with the router, to manage requests to the website.
Example:
i need to know how to do this:
When someone enters my domain name into their web browser , the DNS server sends them to the ip address of my router, then my router sends them to my web server to display my web site.
Go to your routers settings (most routers its 192.181.1.1 but look under your router for yours)
Type in your username and password (also located under the router) and once in find the port fowarding settings.
Have it foward all port 80 traffic to the ip address of your computer. So if your computers ip is 192.168.1.3 make it direct traffic to that ip.
Your router does port based natting for traffic from your inside 192.x.x.x network and the outside internet using your public IP.
What you want to do is called reverse NAT. For that you have to define a mapping of your internal IP and port number to an external IP and port number. It looks something like this
X.X.X.X:80 ------------> 192.168.1.x:80
X.X.X.X is your public IP and 192.168.1.x is the ip of machine where you are running webserver. Once you have this mapping it will let outside traffic to come inside using reverse NAT.
Most of the router have this feature listed as port forwarding where you have to create this type of mapping. They will ask you external port and internal ip and port to map to.
