Server issue with Windows 2016 connectivity External network access problems reported
Hi, I need to set up a web host for my sites on a Windows Server 2016 DataCenter. The problem is: when I ping my site (www.examplebalbalbal.com), the response only shows my server and it takes less than 1 ms. I want everyone to be able to access my sites, not just me. What should I do? ------------------------------- - Set up your Wi-Fi at 10.0.0.1. - Open ports 9001, 9098, 21, 22, 80, 443, 3306, 8080. - Arrange a dynamic IP address using DDNS. - Create a NAT gateway. - Use a fixed IP address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With these steps, it seems you’re not getting external access. Could you clarify? If you have TeamViewer installed, it should simplify the process. Thanks! Daniel
You're asking about a few things here. What kind of internet connection do you use—home or business? Many home ISPs block users from running their own web servers, which is often resolved with DNS settings. Some providers even block ports 80 and 443, so you'd need to use alternatives like www.mysite.com:8080 and set up a firewall rule for the port. From a security standpoint, opening a web server publicly can be risky, especially if you connect it to your internal network. Depending on your router or firewall, you might be able to place it in a DMZ and allow access only from your local subnet.
Also, using a web host can simplify things by handling updates and security concerns for you.
Checking if the server is reached via the quickest route within the same network helps. If the domain name is already resolved, testing from outside the network confirms functionality. This might mean I missed the point of your explanation.
I believe you're using a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 and know your ISP can restrict your online access from outside your network.
