So I have ten extra IPs bound to my network adapter. When I go to add a binding usually IIS7 presents me with a list of IP addresses that are available, however I only have 127.0.0.1. I can manually enter the IP address to bind host headers to the websites. However I would still like IIS to function normally and present me with all of the IP adresses that are bound to the adapter.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Ok I figured it out, I should just stop asking questions on here I seem to answer a lot of my own. There was an entry in the hosts file that bound 127.0.0.1 to the hostname of the computer, removing this solved the IIS issue.

I am trying to switch my dynamic DNS from IPv4 to IPv6, but I am encountering a strange issue. The device is accessible via its raw IPv6 address, but whatever dynamic DNS server I use, it always results in an IP address not found issue. The IPv4 one works fine though. The server is also correctly configured, otherwise the raw address would not work.
What is even stranger is that services like http://ipv6-test.com seem to be able to verify that IPv6 functionality exists and also which web server I use. They also list the corresponding name servers.
I tried the dynamic DNS services of spdyn, dynv6, and ddnss. I also tried noip, but it seems they only support IPv4 for free. (My IPv4 one is with noip.)
Does anybody have some advice? I'm thankful for any help!
Most probably your network is not supporting IPv6.
Perhaps someone has some help? I am running dnsmasq on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This server's address is 192.168.15.3. My gateway's DNS is 192.168.1.254, that takes me out to the Internet. I also have a special-purpose DNS at 192.168.15.2. So I wanted to give those 3 name servers to DHCP clients. This is my dnsmasq.conf server= section:
server=/localnet/192.168.15.3
server=/localnet/192.168.15.2
server=/15.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.1.254
However, when I look at the DHCP allocation on a client, I see only 192.168.15.3 as the sole DNS server. Clients cannot access the Internet (the NIC on .3 is configured correctly and can access the Internet from its console login).
Granted, the first server= line is probably not necessary, but I added it thinking it may help, didn't.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!
OK, after MUCH experimentation, I found I had to push the option manually. In the dnsmasq.conf file, I added the following line:
dhcp-option=6,
like so:
dhcp-option=6,192.168.15.3,192.168.15.2,192.168.1.254
This served the correct list of name servers to DHCP clients.
The server lines are configuration for dnsmasq's own DNS server, about where it should forward DNS requersts that it receives in order to be able to resolve (and cache) them.
Only the dhcp-options are part of the DHCP configuration that get passed to DHCP clients - so, the accepted anser is correct, but I wanted to share why.
Hi I have a Huawei ADSL modem with a dynamic IP. I set up a dynamic dns with freedns and I can easily access my Virtual host on apache from outside my private network, from internet.
So trying to access it from a local network I get a modems login page.
I have the rule in my modems NAT to connect port 80 to my server but it seems it doesnt work from internal net.
My server hosting the virtual host is 192.168.0.1 , the modem has the 192.168.0.254 address.
I tried to put my external domain name into the /etc/hosts file, but if I do that then asterisk server gets confused.
What could be the cause of the problem ? And what would be the best solution to this problem ?
Should I set up a caching DNS on the private side of the net ?
Hugger is half right... Its because your router is blocking loopbacks. The easiest way around this is to edit the hosts file (See the Wiki page) on the computer that is behind the network to see the local IP of the computer as the virtual host your going for. For example if your server is on 192.168.0.1 and the virtual hostname is www.imrad.com then insert
192.168.0.1 www.imrad.com
into your hosts file. If your computer leaves the local network (like a laptop you take to work) and joins a network not behind your router you need to comment out the line in the hosts file.
well actually to access that you must find the local ip address of the server by going into command line/prompt and typing ipconfig /all then you will find ipv4 address. Take note of that.
Go to another computer and your that ip and it will show.
The reason that was happening is because the router/modem knows you are in its network so it will think you ar trying to go top the login page of it. That happens to me too.
I've been developing locally on a little ubuntu netbook with xampp for about 7 months. Two weeks ago I got a computer I'd like to use as a server. I've installed the latest Ubuntu distribution and xampp, moved all my files over, and forwarded port 80. I've also got a domain name from dyndns.com which is being updated by a client which runs in my router (a Netgear WGR6154 v8).
Now, when I try to access my server by typing in the address I got from dyndns.com the browser loads until it timesout. I can access everything locally using localhost as the address so I believe xampp is running, just unable to connect with the internet.
In order to be able to view my files over the internet what should I do next?
Thanks to all in advance...

You have a combination of issues here, and that is something of a problem. Each issue is complex in an of itself. Here is what I would recommend to get you going for certain.
First verify that you can surf the web from your server. This will confirm that you have a working ethernet interface.
Step 1 make sure that XAMPP, and your files are viewable from your home network. I assume you are using something like 192.168.1.X for your network and perhaps your server is 192.168.1.10
Go to another computer in your house and type http://192.168.1.10/ and see if you can see your files. If you can then you know that the server is properly configured and XAMPP is working.
Then add an entry to your hosts file to resolve yourdnsrecord.com (or whatever your dyndns record is) to your private ip address. Then when you type yourdnsrecord.com into a browser from that computer you should still get your files. This will rule out your server being improperly configured to listen for that domain name.
Next you need to test to see if there is a firewall problem. To simplify this, first remove your home router from the equation. Instead, place your new server directly onto your internet connection. (assuming you can). This way, you do not need to have NAT or firewalls properly configured. Your dyndns name should map to a public IP and your server should then have that IP and be connected directly to the Internet. If you have your server directly connected, and the command ifconfig from the root prompt returns the same public IP address that your dynamic dns record is point to, then it should work.
It will make your life easier if you have an iphone or some other way to test how your network is seen from the Internet.
If your public IP as shown by ifconfig is different than the IP record in your dyndns account, then your dynamic dns update script is broken. manually set the IP, and see if things work.
It is very possible that this will not work. Some ISPs firewall port 80 preventing their subscribers from hosting servers. Once you have your server directly connected to the internet you can test this (even if your dns is not working) by using the public IP address. As root, type ifconfig from the command prompt to get your public ip address. Then type the command tcpdump -i eth? port 80 from the root prompt. eth? needs to be the same interface that you saw had a public IP address from the ifconfig command. usually this is eth0 but it might be wire0 or something like that.
This command will show you all traffic coming on port 80 to your server.
From an iphone (or whatever second Internet connection you have) browse to the IP address that you got from your ifconfig command. If you see something on your server (and it is directly connected to your ISP) then your ISP is not firewalling you.
If you can get to your server, when it is directly connected to the Internet, either by IP address or by DynDNS address, then your ISP is OK and it is time to debug your firewall.
Two things need to work for your firewall to be configured NAT, where the public address that your router gets from your ISP is converted into your private network and a firewall rule which permits that traffic. If you get this far, then you know your firewall is the problem and then it is just a matter of getting its configuration correct. There are far to many home routers to document here, but you usually can find how-to instructions for your router for this task from the manufacturers website (usually it is part of the manual)
If you follow these instructions exactly you will get your system working. Make comments on the process and I will be happy to modify this to make it clearer.
HTH,
-FT
You should make sure your xampp is not listening to only the localhost.
to do so edit your apache configuration file and check and search for Listen directive
you should be able to know also by analysing the output of netstat -a.
After that make sure your router is forwarding properly, using tcpdump would help.
drop me a comment if you need more help.

Our user interface is communicating with another application on a different machine, often connecting using domain names.
On our network, when IPv6 is installed, DNS name resolution works great, all machines can be pinged and contacted fine.
When IPv6 is uninstalled, pinging the same DNS names returns an IP address on some distant subnet (24.28.193.9; local subnet is 192.168.1.1); our application is then unable to communicate. When IPv6 is reinstalled, the DNS resolution corrects itself.
Even without IPv6 when ping is not working, I can still browse other machines using Windows Explorer by entering \\\\MACHINE_NAME\\. I'm not sure why the name resolution seems to work here. We are working in the Windows XP SP2 environment.
The IPs of the machines can be pinged successfully. It is only the DNS names that do not resolve properly.
I looked for the address of our DNS server. All of our computers are pointing at the network gateway, which is a wireless router. The router has the same DNS server address listed when IPv6 is installed as it does when it isn't installed.
The strangest thing is that I just discovered that it does not matter what DNS name I ping. All pings to DNS names return the same address: "24.28.193.9".
I tried flushing the DNS Resolver Cache and registering DNS on the target machine and the source machine. All to no avail. The only DNS name that I can ping is the name of the current machine.
Any thoughts as to why our software can't communicate without IPv6 installed?
UPDATE:
OK, I've done a little more research now.

You've got multiple things going on here
DNS Name resolution
Windows Name resolution
IP-IP ICMP communication
You've written your question as if there's a problem with #3, but everything you describe points to the problem actually being with #1. If you take resolution out of the question, can you ping the correct IPs with our without IPv6 installed?
It sounds like maybe you have an IPv6 name server installed that has correct information and the IPv4 name server is incorrect? Are you receiving name servers via DHCP or hard coding? What are the IPs of the name servers you are using when IPv6 is installed and when it isn't?
I know this is a late answer, but in case someone else has the same problem, the key is the IP address, "24.28.193.9". A quick Google search reveals it seems to be related to your ISP completely breaking the DNS protocol by returning a fixed IP address for all non-existent domain names (the correct answer would be NXDOMAIN). Your network gateway is most probably just forwarding your queries to your ISP's name servers.
Your systems are relying on the correct operation of the DNS protocol. They are expecting a NXDOMAIN answer before querying the name via other methods (most probably NetBIOS name resolution). Since the DNS server is completely broken and returning an incorrect answer, the correct address is never looked up.
The reason installing or uninstalling IPv6 changes the situation is most probably because something related to it is changing the name resolution order (to look up using other methods before trying DNS). So, a workaround would be to change the name resolution order yourself.
The real fix would be to either change to a better ISP (one which does not break established protocols) or run your own DNS server (which is what I started doing on all systems I administer ever since VeriSign pulled a similar stunt; theirs was even worse in that changing ISPs made no difference at all).
