I have a Windows 2003 server, with IIS6 + .Net 4 installed.
I created a site running on port 8002. It could be accessed locally but not remotely. I have done following tests
I used server's local broswer to access http://192.168.1.107:8002/WebForm2.aspx and I can get page successfully.
I opened a broswer on remote machine to access http://192.168.1.107:8002/WebForm2.aspx, browser waited for long time and eventually displayed timeout, web page not available message.
I tried telnet 192.168.1.107 8002 from client machine, and the connection could be established. I believe I have Windows 2003 server firewall turned off, otherwise the port should be blocked.
I ran ping 192.168.1.107 from client machine and got response.
While remote browser is waiting for response, I shut down the site (not IIS) and brwoser got not available right away. It looks like broswer connected to the site, but just something is hanging there.
What could cause such problem?
what are your dns settings? is the ip bound to this domain / host header?
recheck your settings in iis and check your firewall.
It sounds like you were able to reach the server, but I can only guess that based on what you're saying you tried already.
i would also make sure that nothing else is using that ip.
OK, strange thing. I created the site in VS2012 and forgot to change target framework back to 4.0, so it was compiled as 4.5. But server has no 4.5 installed.
Once I changed the target framework everything works.
I just don't understand one thing, hwy it worked locally in 4.5.

I am having some issues accessing the rabbitmq_management plugin.
I am running RabbitMQ 3.6.2, where rabbit is installed as a service and the plugin is enabled. Running on Windows Microsoft Server 2012.
Service runs fine, no errors in logs, however when i try and access the management tool via the web browser UI, "This page can't be displayed", I am sure i am going to the right port as the logs show the port it is running on, i have tried adding some rules to the Inbound on the firewall in case it was to do with ports and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
EDIT
I am able to access the port via another machine on the network but does still not work in local host.
I am new to WCF Services, I have developed a WCF service library hosted within a Windows Service. The service end point is http://servername:9980/ApplicationServer/ServiceName.
When I run this service on local system and try to connect using my application, everything works fine.
The problem starts when I deploy this service on server system, none of my application can use this service, even the browser says page not found. Though, if I remove the specific port number from the endpoint all works well.
I have already opened all the ports in Windows Firewall including Client and Server. Also proper exceptions are made to the router firewall, still I am not able to host the service on specific port. I have even tried by switching firewall off on both client and server system.
Thank you in advance.

When you remove the specific port number it defaults to port 80.
So there is something that is blocking the other port.
Try using the Telnet command to check if the port is open (you may have to enable telnet)
As you have allready checked the firewalls, it could be urlscan or a network device.
I have recently switched from mac development environment to windows development environment. I was used Chrles proxy extensively to capture network traffic, requests and response details. Right now I have installed Charles proxy version 3.7 in windows 8. How ever I have observed that the website on which I am working is not opening at all with Charles proxy ON. It is showing below exception message. And it is working perfectly for all other websites.
Charles Error Report
Failed to connect to remote host
Charles failed to connect to the remote host. Check that your Internet
connection is ok and that the remote host is accessible. Maybe your
network uses a proxy server to access the Internet? You can configure
Charles to use an external proxy server in the External Proxy
Settings.
The actual exception reported was:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect Charles
Proxy, http://www.charlesproxy.com/
Research that I have done before coming to SE:
I have searched in google with the keyword "Charles Error Report-Failed to connect to remote host". I got couple of links which are related to the above issue.
First link says to check for external proxy setting. I have checked, there are no external proxy settings in my computer.
Second link says open the url in browser and close charles proxy and reopen it. I did that. Still no luck.
How to overcome this issue?
Do you get the same problem with other proxies like Fiddler? If so, it's probably not related to Charles but either a network problem or inability of your application to work with a proxy.
Other causes may be using HTTPS (which can cause certificate errors) or using the loopback address (localhost or 127.0.0.1) which may or may not be ignored by the proxy.
UPDATE
In IE10+ Enhanced Protection Mode prevents untrusted applications from accessing local resources. Pages and sites that are not in the Trusted Zone are considered unstrusted, so they can't connect to any local proxy. Fiddler includes a configuration button to configure Windows 8 to bypass this. You can find a very good explanation of what happens and why here.
In Windows 8, EPM is enabled only for Metro IE. In 8.1 it is enabled by default even for Desktop IE.
You may be able to make Charles work again simply by adding your site's address to the Trusted Zone in IE's security settings, or you can download the EnableLoopBackUtility mentioned in Configure Fiddler for Windows 8 Metro-style applications to allow IE to connect to your site through the local proxy
I have experienced this as a timing or caching related gremlin. For me, in most cases, this is resolved by doing force-reload a few times in the browser. Doing so is slightly different on each platform. In Mac/Chrome, holding down Command + Shift + R for a couple of seconds does the trick. In Win/IE, holding Shift and clicking the reload icon in the address bar a couple of times does it - in theory, Shift + F5 should do the same thing, but it does not work as well.
The basic issue is in IE on my machine, a particular web site in our intranet doesn't work when using the server name alias. It does, however work when using the IP address of the server.
This doesn’t work
http://MyWeb/TheSite
It's a 401 error in the IIS Logs on the server
and IE shows "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Diagnose Connection Problems".
But this does work:
http://100.100.100.100/TheSite
(100.100.100.100 being a made up IP)
On other machines on our intranet, this does work for me:
http://MyWeb/TheSite
I think we've narrowed it down the Integrated Auth on IIS. When I change the AppPool for MyWebb/TheSite to Anonymous on the server, TheSite works on my machine as well as other machines. When I change back to Integrated Auth it works for me on other machines machines but not my machine. Any ideas? Something with my desktop profile?
And another bit of data, TheSite used to work on my machine with Integrated Auth. It just stopped a couple weeks ago.
Also, we've looked at all the relevent DNS properties, etc, and that all looks good
I've built a WP7 application and a locally hosted (on my machine) WCF server in my solution. I have debugged it using the emulator and it works fine, however, when I debug via device and try to connect to the server I get an exception stating that the EndPointNotFound (I'm aware I haven't set up anything to catch this exception!). Is there anyway to connect to a localhost server via the device?
Many thanks

If you are trying to connect to your local machine from an actual device and it si not tethered, make sure that you are connected to the same local network.
What is the host name you are using to try and connect to the host machine? The emualtor will be able to resolve "localhost" to the host mahcien but your phone won't. You'll need to use the appropriate host name or IP address.
Download and install the Visual Studio SP1 tooling and host your WCF services using IIS Express. This webserver accepts incoming connections from other computers on your local network as long as there's a firewall exception to allow the connection.
You'll have to connect to the machine hosting the service through it's external IP. That cannot be localhost or 127.0.0.1 (it has to be something belonging to the same subnet).
Scott Hanselman had a presentation about the "MS Web Stack of Love" where he demos how to set all this up (using HTTPS even) and it goes into depth about how to configure the firewall and all that jazz. I recommend watching it, as he is also, a funny guy.
You can use a Wifi connection on WP7 and the local ip of your server in the config file to reference your WCF server ?
