Windows – Can not open website hosted on LAN web server by browser, though No-IP Dynamic DNS through router OK

windows

My LAN server is using IIS ver 10.
No-IP Dynamic DNS through router with URL _.ddns.net is rightly resolving to changing external dynamic IP address supplied by internet service provider.
I can ping to URL _.ddns.net in command prompt when connected through router.
I have configured my router to assign fixed private (LAN) IP address as 192.168.1.2 and it working fine.
I have done port forwarding to my LAN web server for HTTP port 80, but don't know how to test it.
When I type URL 'localhost' OR http://192.168.1.2/ in the browser, I can see my default website. But when I type URL _.ddns.net, I see error: This site can’t be reached.

Someone told that the problem is because my LAN web server is behind the router. So I directly connected my web server pc to cable bypassing the router. But then also I get the same error when I type URL _.ddns.net OR external IP address:port in the browser.
I can not ping to URL _.ddns.net in command prompt when connected through cable.

What other settings should I do to solve this problem?

The output of Ipconfig /all is here when my pc is connect to internet by cable.
I have noted that external IP address given by WhatsMyIp = _.ddns.net = 43.241.144.210 is not seen anywhere in Ipconfig /all listing.

Sorry for lengthy post.

Best Answer

assume that the setup looks like this:

HTTP request(internet) --> _.ddns.net --> 43.241.144.210 [router public IP][TCP/80 port forwarding] --> 192.168.1.2:80 [IIS]

your description shows that the most important things are configured correctly:

  • ping _.ddns.net should return 43.241.144.210
  • services like https://www.whatismyip.com/ should return ip: 43.241.144.210
  • port forwarding on router, port TCP/80 [http] forward to 192.168.1.2:80
  • your server have ip 192.168.1.2 and default website is available form web browser: http://192.168.1.2

also try to check windows firewall on server - inbound rules for port 80, router firewall rules

you can also check connection by: telnet _.ddns.net 80
