Hello GokAy,
You mean like this?
I used the current IPv4 address from ipconfig for the Local IP.
Unfortunately...
(I tried forwarding port 80 but it also failed.)
When I access my web app using my Local IP, it works:
192.168.254.101:8080/myWebApp
When I try to access using my External IP, it times out:
180.191.103.188:8080/myWebApp
You changed too much :)
Go to port forwarding and change the internal ports(private) to 8080. Keep public ones as 8081.
192.168.254.101:8080/myWebApp - this is correct if you are inside the network
180.191.103.188:8081/myWebApp - when you are connecting from Internet, notice 8081
Hi GokAy,
Here's the current rule:
I tried accessing using 180.191.103.188:8081/myWebApp but it timed out as well.
Ok, Did you ever try to connect to 192.168.254.101:8080/myWebApp from your phone? Maybe it is a permission issue with Tomcat?
I used my tablet to connect to 192.168.254.101:8080/myWebApp and it works.
The external IP did not work though.
Are there settings you need to see that can help you diagnose?
This myWebApp is the actual app or some management screen? I read that tomcat by default restricts management from Internet or something like that :)
Anyway, not sure if this would help but can you also add outbound rules to allow 8080 for both protocols in Windows Firewall?
Well, I downloaded and setup Tomcat on a virtual Win7 Home Premium x64. After opening the ports 8080 TCP/UDP in Windows Firewall and creating the port forwarding on router, I can connect from outside.
Here are the steps:
- Extracted tomcat to C:/tomcat
- created JAVA_HOME variable with C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45
- ran startup.bat
- Created UDP/TCP port 8080 rules to allow
- Create port forwarding to virtual OS IP, external 8081, internal 8080
- tested with Firebind Reflector Demo1
- also connected to ZenMate VPN through Firefox, success too
Sorry I haven't been around, got busy with internship. I'm still baffled as to why it stopped working, it did before. Right now I reserved 192.168.254.101 to my laptop (connected to router via wifi) so even if it's dynamic IP, I will always have that address (effectively working like a static IP).
Is there any diagnostics I can run (cmd line or some tool) that can help us tell what's going wrong?
All I can think of at the moment is where id the tomcat folder? Perhaps it is a permission issue.
Hello GokAy :)
myWebApp is the actual app itself.
Here are my most current settings:Code:D:\xampp\tomcat
1) Set Dynamic IP with reservation.
2) Checked ipconfig.
3) Set port forwarding rule.Code:Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::7db6:2f63:90fe:38b4%12 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.254.101 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : fe80::1%12 192.168.254.254
4) Set inbound/outbound rules for port 8080 in Windows 7 Firewall.
5) Tested port.
Those are the configurations I did. If you need other details to help diagnose, please let me know.
