Unable to send messages between two Windows servers.
Unable to send messages between two Windows servers.
Hi, I see you're facing an issue with pinging between your two Windows Server 2016 machines. Both servers have static IPs assigned—192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3. When trying to reach the other server from one, you get a timeout response. From server 2, the same happens. You're running IIS on server 2 and can access it from server 1. Here are some possible solutions:
- Ensure both servers are on the same network segment.
- Verify firewall rules allow traffic between the IP ranges.
- Check if the static IPs are correctly configured and not blocked.
- Try using a different port or protocol if needed.
- Confirm that the network configuration supports direct communication.
Let me know if you need further help!
The firewall is configured to block incoming connections. The public firewall should prevent pings from reaching it.
I turned off both public and private firewalls, but the issue remains unchanged.
Even when your firewall is turned off, the Echo Requiest might still be blocked. With Windows 7/Server 2008, they usually disable echo by default, but you can try enabling it now. Follow these steps: Open "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security," go to "Inbound Rules," select "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)," right-click and enable the rule. Repeat for ICMPv6-In if needed.
It seems you're asking about three distinct configurations—public, private, and domain networks—and how the physical setup works. Are these server editions included? Regarding the network, do the servers connect directly to a switch or are they virtual? Also, could there be specific outbound rules tied to these settings?
It seems a straightforward adjustment might not be effective. I'm not very comfortable with DO, but I'll attempt some possible fixes using what I know: Perhaps reviewing this article? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/q...2-droplets. Also consider: Are the VPC's IP ranges identical to the server ranges? Does the VPC firewall configuration permit local traffic? Don't forget to restart after modifying the VPC or droplet settings.
