I have a Web API Project hosted on my local system (Windows 7) on IIS7.
I am trying to access that Web API or for that matter another website hosted on the same IIS via my android mobile phone and My Mobile phone is connected to local wifi. But this IIS computer is connected to same network via wired LAN. Though I can access my router that is hosted on "xxx.xxx.1.1" IP Address from that computer as well as mobile phone but i am unable to access the IIS website from my mobile phone.
I tried turning off my windows firewall on the IIS computer where this website is running, but this didn't help as well. Although i can access this IIS website via another computer on the same LAN.
I think the issue is related to LAN or wifi but it should not be as the network and router for LAN and wifi are the same.
Need immediate help and how can i solve this.
Thanks
Can you ping your phone from your computer? Or vice-versa?
Access your router configuration and check for any access control setting that might be separating WiFi from LAN.
OK. When it was extremely urgent today, i found the answer myself. It was D link Router problem and here is the solution. Hope this helps others.
Check option Clients isolation in Wireless -> Basic.
If it turned ON - clients from LAN wil not access Wi-Fi clients and vice versa.

I want to test my ejabberd (xmpp) server, which I've hosted on my laptop, which is working on windows 10 based OS. I want to connect my android client to this server. So I went on to the internet, and found some solutions. But they seem don't work for me. This is what I've tried:
1.) Create a hotspot on a phone. Don't use data/wifi connection, as server is already on the machine.
2.) Connect the laptop to the hotspot.
3.) On cmd (running as admin), type 'ipconfig', after starting xmpp server (Obviously).
4.) Copy IPv4 address (External IP), and access web panel on the mobile browser through it.
So, I hurried toward my phone, and typed
http://[IPv4 Address]:[port open on the server for incoming connection/5280]/admin
But it(browser) throws 'Can't reach the webpage' error.
When I run
http://localhost:5280/admin
on my laptop, I could easily access my web portal, but It's unreachable on my android phone. What can I do now?
Well I solved this problem by accessing IPv4 of my laptop through my wifi router, and connecting to the port of my server through it. Initially, my browser (both of my laptop and my phone) weren't able to reach the server's port. But I later figured out it was problem in my .yml configuration file. Server wasn't set to listen all the IPv4 calls, instead it was listening to all IPv6. So I changed this, and it then become accessible to all devices on the same wifi. So it was my bad idea to connect it through the hotspot :P
My problem is linked with this post : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28982225/android-local-server-access-over-wifi/
I have a website hosted with MAMP on a Mac mini, connected to a D-Link router. I've got a Wifi-antenna (ubiquiti) which is connected to this router too, it creates a Wifi (offline) LAN.
When I try to connect to the Mac mini's IP, it displays the website from other devices (iPhone, Windows PC) but with Android it doesn't work.
I'd like to know how the developper in the link I refered did "use DNS by redirecting all domains to his custom domain".
Or if there is another way to work around this... Client devices which connects to the Wifi network shoudn't (I wish) have to configure manually their Android network parameters...
EDIT:
ngrok.io is not a solution :
clients may not have an 3G/LTE connection on their phones
the adress / IP should be the same every time the Mac reboot
Thanks in advance
I am programming an Android app which connects to a TCP server running on my computer using sockets. This works perfectly fine as long as both my computer and my smartphone are connected to the Wi-Fi of my router.
I want it to also work when my computer and my phone are not connected to the Wi-Fi. Therefore I configured a Wi-Fi hotspot using hosted network on my computer. My smartphone recognizes the Wi-Fi and is able to connect to it. But now my app can't connect to the server running on my PC although I changed the code to the new IP that I got by using ipconfig on my PC.
I downloaded an app named "Fing" from the Google play store. The app shows all devices in a network. It does show my computer under the right IP address. I don't understand why my app can't connect to the server running on the PC.
On the one hand, I don't think that the problem is in the app's code, because it works on the router's Wi-Fi network. On the other hand, I doesn't seem to be a setup mistake either, because Fing is detecting my PC.
Do you have any ideas what the problem might be, or any other solution for my needs?
I actually wrote the TCP server myself using c#. I configured the Server to listen to all of my computers networkinterfaces usingIPAdress.IPv6Any. I also did configure it as dual mode socket so it can accept ipv4 and ipv6 connections. I will post the code when i am back home. So the TCP server also looks ok to me.
I have done this successfully before but I am not sure what is going on in this case.
Case that worked:
When I am at home and I connect my computer and my phone to same wifi such that they are on the same network. I can lookup the IP address of my computer and use that IP on my android app to talk to my computer. The local IP is something like 192.168.1.5.
However now I am using a public wifi router. When I connect my computer to wifi I get an IP like 10.10.77.162. When I try to use that IP in my android app to talk to my computer it fails everytime.
What am I doing wrong? Is there an easy way around this?
You have to make sure you forward the port you connect on from your router to your local computer inside your network. Similar to when you open ports for some games such as wow.
Connect your phone the same WiFi network.
Addresses in the 192.168.* and 10.* range aren't globally accessible. They're only used for local networks. If both devices are on the network, they can communicate with each other, but they can't if only one is.
Basically this was due to the fact that I was on a public network in which the router was outside of my control. The router was blocking traffic as one would expect.
I am trying to deploy and test my application on an android device which is then connected to my laptop with a usb-cable. Now, how can I target a webapp deployed on my laptop ?
knowing that my wifi is down and that I don't have the right to change router configuration to do some IP port forwarding tricks (in case you would like to suggest me to use the mobile network e.g 3G, go on internet and get back in via our router external IP address ==> which is also a little bit heavy given what we want to do here)
According to the android documentation, "the emulator" can use the ip address 10.0.2.2 to access the hosting computer but there is nothing for devices...
thanks in advance guys,
