I have create a very simple site in IIS Server version 8.5 using port 85. The site only have one index.html that shows the word "test" the page. When I access the site inside the server I can access it successfully: "http://localhost:85" is working.
Trial 1:
I try accessing it from my computer that is connected to the same network with the server using url "http://servername.test.com:85", the browser goes loading for long time and finally ends in with error "Connection Reset".
Trial 2: I try updating the Site Binding's Host name with our "Vanity Name" and "IP Address", but after this I still get a "Connection Reset" error.
Trial 3: Now I also check for opened ports using netstat, and I can see that port 85 is open. So I don't know why I'm getting Connection Reset error
Trial 4: I added Connection timeout value on the settings. But still I'm getting Connection Reset error.
Please kindly help with advise how to fix this Connection Reset issue. I can't find what is the reason behind this issue. Thank you in advance.
According to your description, I guess you may not bind the right IP address for the servername.test.com domain or use the wrong ip address bind with servername.test.com domain.
I suggest you could firstly try to use the server's ip address to access your web application to make sure you firewall setting and IP setting is right.
If your client server and the IIS server are in the same domain and you have installed an DNS server, then you could access the web site by domain. Details about how to set the DNS server, you could refer to this article.
If you just want to test, you could try to modify the hosts file in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc path in your client server.
For example:
127.0.0.1 www.example.com
I've found the solution. I issue was caused by Firewall enabled on the server and the ports are not opened by the Network Administrators. So I just opened the Ports that I will be using and it works now. Installing IIS Failure Tracing help me catch the error also. Thank you for all those who answered.

I've installed an apache web server to one of my windows 11 machines. I forwarded the ports 80 and 443 to this machine. I can access it by my world wide ip and machines local ip through browser but when i try with domain name it sometimes works but generally it waits a while and then connection times out.
I also added A records at my domain provider like below: (TTL = 1 hour)
Also gave permission from windows firewall for both private and local networks.
What am i missing here?
Ok i figured it out, although i wrote plain domain name in the browser chrome was changing it to https version of the site and that was causing the error.
I purchased a VPS server, installed IIS, setup domain and published static index.html page. It worked if I go to mydomain.com but 1 or 1.5 hours later it stopped working and I can only see the message The site can't be reached.
The VPS is accessible via Remote desktop and if I locally run the IE I can access mydomain.com but It does not work from outside of the VPS.
If I reboot the VPS server then after a while the page can be accessed again but again it lasts for around 1-1.5hours.
What could be the reason of this?
If it is caused by idle timeout, then your index.html page will not be displayed, this error means that your browser cannot establish a connection with the website you try to reach, because your Internet connection has been interrupted or because your internet service provider has blocked the access to the website.
You can try the following methods to solve this error:
Restart your Internet Router.
Try to visit other websites, to make sure that your Internet connection is working.
If you own another computer/device in your place, then try to visit the website where your receive the "ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED" error, in order to make sure that the site you 're trying to visit is not blocked from your ISP.
If you have setup a VPN connection, then disconnect from it.
Temporarily disable the Firewall application.
I have several sites on hosted on my local iis that I cannot access all of sudden.
Error I'm getting in all browsers I have installed (Chrome, IE, Edge) is- server DNS address could not be found.
Last thing I was doing before things wend wrong- installing Web Deploy 3.5, but uninstall did not help.
I checked hosts file and bindings in iis- both are valid.
Another thing I've tried with no luck:
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults : netsh winsock reset catalog
Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults : netsh int ip reset reset.log
Flush DNS resolver cache : ipconfig /flushdns
Renew DNS client registration and refresh DHCP leases : ipconfig /registerdns
Flush routing table : route /f (reboot required)
Ping cannot file host as well
Ping request could not find host XXX. Please check the name and try again.
At the same time htt://localhost shows Default Web site with IIS welcome page.
This appeared to be a problem with permissions on host file- somehow those got broken
I am trying to connect to a university server using a VPN client. I can connect to the client. Also, if I ping the server by name and by IP address, they both work:
ping servername
ping serveripaddress
However, I cannot access the server from the browser if I type:
\servername
\serveripaddress
and also I do not see anything in Network apart from my own computer. I changed my Workgroup to the correct Workgroup, and it still doesn't work.
Also, as my DNS suffix I use the domain name as well as the FQDN, but it doesn't work either.
I restarted after each of these changes, but it didn't help.
I read that when I have a VPN connection working and I am also able to ping the server to which I want to connect, it is most probably DNS resolution problem. But I do not know anymore what to do (I checked and tried the correct DNS suffixes).
Do you know what should I do more? I am using Windows 7.
Thank you.
It sounds like you're trying to use UNC pathing. Assuming that you're getting your network settings from DHCP, are you getting a WINS server?
I run a high volume website and since yesterday it's not working.
My server (for example) 100.0.0.1 is working fine, I can access WHM etc, rootssh no problem....
Yet none of the domains are working, they say cannot find page.
I have my name server setup at Godaddy using domainname.com
Pointing to 3 IPS, 100.0.0.1, 100.0.0.2, 100.0.0.3
All my domains then have ns1.domainname.com, ns2.domainname.com, ns3.domainname.com
As their Nameserver entries.
This was working fine yesterday, now...nothing.
Any ideas on what I can do? Troubleshoot.
Thank you, I am losing alot of trade as I run an high traffic eCommerce website, so would like to get this fixed as soon as possible.
Have you tried using the IP of the server instead of the domain name? Could roll out a DNS issue. You said you can gain root access fine.
Have you checked your firewall to ensure the correct ports are still open?
If you run a netstat command to check what type of traffic is occurring.
Run this command and then try to access the domain or IP to see if the connection is established or if the service is listening. (watch -n 1 netstat -nat)
