Unable to Access my own website from the Server console - iis-6

I am having a weird issue hosting my web application. I am able to access the website from any other computer (from outside the network and from within the network) but unable to
access it from the Server!! (using the browser )
The details are as follows
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6.0
The system has got a private IP and a public ip
Accessing by Domain name/Public IP from external and intranet clients works fine.
Accessing by Private IP from the intranet clients works fine
Accessing by PrivateIP or localhost works from the server
Accessing by Public IP or Domain name from the server doesn't work!!
As an extra troubleshooting, I did
telnet localhost 443 - works
telnet publicip 443 - doesn't work

Maybe public IP isn't routeable from your server.
Verify what happens when you try to access publicip:
tracert publicip
Check your network settings:
ipconfig /all
Check your socket listenings:
netstat -a -n
Local firewall rules?

Also, there's always the issue of server loopback, wherein a server cannot resolve a named reference to itself from within the server. Most commonly occurs on intranets, or on SharePoint sites, I've noticed.

The problem was with our DNS settings. We recently changed from Public IP to Private IP and the DNS reply was somewhat messed up when we tried opening it from the Server!!.
Thanks for your answers!

XAMPP - can not access from public ip

before I was accessing to my xampp server from my dynamic ip. Now I installed latest version of xampp under c:\xampp3
i have no antivirus windows firewall disabled still I can not access.
Forwarding is done correctly.
My local ip is: 192.168.0.13
In router interface displayed WAN IP:
100.98.20....
but when I check it from browser that is:
94.54.225....
if I type 100.98.20.... which is displayed in router's interface it is okay from local computer but if I type it in different net not responding.
When I type 94.54.225.... not responding from anywhere.
Whats wrong here ?
My ISP gives ips many times to each other and that is why I can not access from public ? Should I buy a static ip ?
It depends on your ISP.
Your "WAN" IP is 100.98.20.... it's IPv4 ISP: Carrier-Grade NAT RFC6598
By the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
Disadvantages
* It makes it impossible to host services
Read the wiki for more details and/or contact with your ISP for public IP address.

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.

Localhost vs ip-address (e.g. 192.xxx.x.xxx)

When I host a page in /var/www/page, I can view it via:
localhost/page
192.xxx.x.xxx/page
Recently, I have started playing with websockets (using this repository).
When I activate the server, I can connect using localhost/page but not with 192.xxx.x.xxx/page (note that I can access the page but not connect to the server)
Can someone explain why?
"On most computer systems, localhost resolves to the address 127.0.0.1, which is the most-commonly used IPv4 loopback address..." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost)
It's likely that the "localhost" host name is being resolved to the loopback interface IP address (127.0.0.1), as that is the standard on most machines.
If you want the server to respond to another IP address, you'll have to configure it.

IIS 7 Site using HTTPS not Accessible from Outside Internet (is accessible from intranet)

I am trying to set up an HTTPS site on IIS 7. I have added the certificate, set up the appropriate bindings and the site is accesible from within my company's intranet, however no one from the outside internet can access it. I have a 1:1 NAT forward set up for port 443 that should route requests to the IP address for my server. I have the same situation for port 80 and don't have any issues with http sites being accessible.
Any suggestions for what I might be missing here?
UPDATE:
As it turns out, the company that manages my company's firewall had added the exception for https and 443, and the correct routing, but hadn't added an exception for the process that handles https.
For starters, from outside, use telnet to see if you can even get to the port from outside:
telnet <host name or ip> 443
Note the space before the port.
If the telnet screen goes fully black, w cursor in top left, you can connect, so it is an iis issue.
If telnet just sits there, it is trying to connect but can't. It may finally throw "connection refused" or "could not connect." This means the problem is on the physical firewall (which needs the inbound path opened) or on the iis server itself (in its firewall or iis config)
In this case, next step:
Do the telnet operation on the IIS server itself, and from the same network as IIS (e.g. not through the firewall).
-- If this works: The problem is the network firewall config
-- If this does not work, you need to check the firewall on the IIS server itself (the windows firewall), and the IIS config itself
Note, on windows 7 and vista, telnet may not be present out of the box. Google how to enable it.
