Remote access to pc in a LAN: how to connect to an individual pc - dynamic-ip

I've installed a dynamic DNS client which points at my account on noip.com.
it works.I type the host-name (which i registered with noip) into the address bar of a browser on a pc outside of my LAN and it takes me to my routers current IP.
This only takes me to the routers configuration page (which of course is what is expected).
how do i make it (my host-name/address) redirect to an individual pc in the LAN??
My Laptop: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
my DDns client: noip's own client, downloaded from the noip website
Thanksssss

Portforwarding on your router. If you want http to be forwarded
set port 80 to your laptops ip or hostname port 80.

Accessing Odoo localhost on LAN

I am testing Odoo v10 (Formally known as OpenERP) for my office. I have installed it on my server PC (windows 7 pro) having name "NEBULA" with IP 192.168.1.190 at port 80
Everything works fine when I accesses web address (http:// localhost/) or (http:// 127.0.0.1/) (http:// NEBULA/) or (http:// 192.168.1.190/) from my own PC browser where I have installed it.
But, When I tries from another PC connected to same LAN, browser is unable to reach http:// NEBULA/ or http:// 192.168.1.190/ .
I am getting PING reply on LAN pc from NEBULA for PING NEBULA and PING 192.168.1.190 but, browser is unable to connect to same server.
Currently, I am not using any firewall on server.
Please help. How to reach 192.168.1.190 from browser over LAN ?

Can't connect despite port forwarding

I have a Ubuntu Server 16.04 running on a machine in my local network.
The machine has static assigned IP and running apache2. There is no problem in connecting to it from my local network.
I have port-forwarding for ports 22 and 80 setup on my router to the IP address of the machine.
When I check the ports with my public IP address on sites like http://www.canyouseeme.org/ the result is that the ports are open. When I try to connect using my public IP address and using those ports the connections are refused.
I tried disabling firewall in the router and also on the machine, no result.
What else should I try? It seems that the server is getting no incoming connection when I check with netstat.
Just for troubleshooting purposes:
Setup port forwarding on port 22 and try to ssh into your server using the public IP? If it works, it means apache is refusing the connections and not your router or ISP
On your router, setup the server on the DMZ temporarily and check if it works
Add another port forwarding rule on your router to redirect all http requests on port 8000,for example, to port 80 internally, then try to access your server with http://[public_ip]:8000
Have you changed anything on the apache2.conf file? Also, explain how you are testing the connection, internally using the public IP or from the Internet?

Apache home server connects to domain inside network and not out

Hello i have an old windows xp pc im trying to turn into a server for hobbyist purposes. I downloaded and installed the apache xampp 1.8 distribution. Once installed and tested that the localhost worked, I connected my domain to my servers ip. So my problem is when i tried to connect to my site on my pc on the same network, they all were able to load the domain/site inside the network successfully but when i have a pc thats outside the network try it fails. Any ideas?. thanks.
You have used a private IP instead of public IP so it does not get resolved to your server. You have to use a public IP (if you have a static IP from your provider you have to setup port forwarding on your router.) If you get the IP from DHCPD server you will need to use dynamic DNS and port forwarding.

IBM Server configuration

i have an ibm server, a tp-link router with an static ip and DHCP activated, i want to configure one of the net boards in the ibm server.
I installed Ububntu server and access to the net board configuration using this command:
vi /etc/network/interfaces
I configure the server with this
address -> i put an ip that i resrve in the router
netmask
network
broadcast
gateway
I have a subdomain from no ip i have entered in the server so i can do remote connection to the server throw this subdomain and ssh. I have put the subdomain in /etc/host.conf
The thing is i have access to the subdomain in the web and out of the LAN net. But when i try to connect to the server throw ssh it's gave me connection refused.
EDIT:
Using the command arp-scan -I eth0 -l i found that the IP of the server is asigned two times it's look like it's the same ethernet board with two MAC address thar are the same except the las number.
Ok, what's work for me was to reinstall openssh on the server and in my computer. After that I have access throw ssh.

How VM Name is resolved over the LAN Network?

I have hosted a VM (Red Hat Linux) named test-vm on my Desktop machine (Windows) with a static IP address but I don't have any DNS entry for this static IP address.
Without having an entry in the client's host file, to my wonder the ping test-vm responds. How is this possible? How test-vm is resolved at other machines on our LAN Network without having a DNS entry for test-vm?

I guess you are using vmware client in your windows desktop. In this case, the hostname is associated to your vmware virtual DNS. With a ping of broadcast in your network, your vmware virtual DNS is forwarding the ping to your VM Client.
