Can't connect to server from outside

Using a Comcast Business Modem/Router using their DHCP. I have 5 static IPs. Using 1 to 1 NAT to route incoming static IP(173.14....) address to internal IP(10.1.10...). I can connect to the AFP and Wiki on the LAN by both browser or Finder using afp://10.1.10...), but have not luck over the WAN. Firewall is turned off and I have bypassed any other Comcast router blocks that I can find. I had a Snow Leopard MacMini server working fine before it died. Just bought the new Macmini Server with LION. Is there some configuration difference?
Help!

Thanks very much for that insight. I will make the address changes and try it. I am not using the Mac Server as the DHCP though, but I hope this works. It appears that Apple has made a number of architecture compromises to make Lion easier to configure. Not sure if I like it yet, but it does appear to be better organized. After this issue I am wondering if just going ahead a using a VPN would make more sense and be safer in the long run?
If anyone has any suggestions on a reasonably priced VPN I would appreciate it.

Can't connect to server from internet

Hi
I’ve just set up a new Mac mini server with Lion 10.7.1.
It’s configured as "Host name for Internet".
I can reach the router from Internet. NAT on the router is setup to forward the the required ports according to Apple’s document "Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products"
Still I can’t connect to any service on the server from Internet (Address Book, Calendar, AFP, VPN)
Please help!
Asbjørn

You can test it from outside with a telnet connection:
Open Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities) and insert:
telnet <ip-address-from-router> <port>
so testing the iCal port would be:
telnet 123.234.45.6 8008
or SSL:
telnet 123.234.45.6 8443
When you get "Escape character is '^]'." the connection is established to the server/port.
When you get " telnet: connect to address 123.234.45.6: Connection refused | telnet: Unable to connect to remote host" something is wrong with the setup.
Maybe it's the Port-forwarding, maybe the setup of the server.
Is it working in the local network?
I also would recommend you, to NOT share AFP over the network! The traffic isn't secured in a single way! Instead just configure VPN and establish the AFP connection through that VPN tunnel, but not directly by opening that connection to the internet!

Hello Mohd,
Here are the facts:
I honestly think you need to change that route statement as it basically says if you want to contact the NARAYASERVER send the packet via the INSIDE interface to the IP address 172.27.17.100
route inside NarayaServer 255.255.255.255 172.27.17.100
interface Ethernet0/1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 172.27.17.100 255.255.0.0
So basically send the packet to yourself (Does not make any sense.. Try to read it so you can understand what I mean.
The NAT 0 is breaking the translation.
access-list inside_nat0_outbound extended permit ip host NarayaServer any
nat (inside) 0 access-list inside_nat0_outbound
Do the following :
access-list inside_nat0_outbound permit ip host NarayaServer OTHER_site_VPN_subnet
no access-list inside_nat0_outbound extended permit ip host NarayaServer any
Then u should be able to connect,
Let me know if you will follow my instructions, otherwise I think I am not helping here

WiFi connected but message from mail and Safari "can't connect to server"

My WiFi went down and rebooted. WiFi connected on iPhone, IPad and MacBook Pro. The iPad gives an error message from mail, Safari and other apps, "can't connect to server". What is wrong and how do i correct settings on the iPad?

Can't connect to Server through NAT

Hey all.
So, I'm trying to connect to my 10.8 server from outside of my network using Server.app.
On my local subnet, I can connect fine with my normal user.
From anywhere outside of my local network, all I get is a shake from the login dialog (which is pretty meaningless).
Since I'm using NAT, I've forwarded 311/TCP and 311/UDP through to the server host.
When I telnet to my server on 311 I get a connection, so the traffic is getting through NAT (at least the TCP traffic).
The only indication of a problem I get is a terse log entry on the machine I've attempting to connect from:
Server: Failed to authenticate to OD
I'm using the same credentials I use through Server.app when on the local subnet, so something else is happening.
I do get a certificate warning, which I check off so that I always trust it. I can use the same hostname on my internal and external zones, but the IP resolves back to
Does OD require some additional configuration for requests from outside the local net?
Is Server.app just flawed?
Does this somehow have to do with DNS?
Any ideas?

Server app communites over TCP port 687, not 311.
That being said I wouldn't port forward server administration traffic to your server. A better approach would be to make a VPN connection first and then do whatever task you're trying to do after that.

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server but I can use iTunes online store. Isn't that strange? Any ideas why?
I use static ip-adresses on my home network with a WEP 128bit security. I have entered all configuration that I enter under tcp/ip properties on my but there is one property on the touch that I don't recognise from my PC and that is someting that translated could be named "Search Domains". It's the last property under the static wireless config tab.

I have no idea what I am doing... but once i changed the proxy (HTTP) my life is just miserable, no sites open, like its really annoying. Do you know how to fix it.

Windows 7 client can't connect to Server 2008 R2 Print Server VM (ESXi 5.5)

I have an issue today that is driving me bonkers.
I recently came on-board to a company in my area as the system administrator and this network has everything and the kitchen sink wrong with the network layout, probably the worst I've seen and I'm slowly but surely fixing it day by day.....
Well today I decided I was going to spin up another VM from a template and make a Print Server, seems harmless right? --- I thought so too, added all of the printers to the server and did test pages, all was dandy, but then I tried to add the printers to
clients and other server and the real fun has begun, I'm truly perplexed now...
I added a VM to my esxi 5.5 cluster at work that is a 2008 R2 server with only print management on it. I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via
DNS. I can test printers directly from the print server successfully printing out test pages however whenever I try to map printers you know from the directory in 'devices and printers' from any of the Windows 7 clients or any of the other 2003/2008 servers
I get the classical "Windows cannot connect please check the network connection and make sure sure the printer is turned on". I disabled the windows firewall and I made the point to print GPO set to disabled and still no luck. Again I can print to
all of the printers internally inside of the VM (so I know it communicating to all of the printers), I just can't connect to the printers listed in the directory on any of external desktop/client, it's like so annoying. spent about 6 hours until my brain just
couldn't think anymore, was about to go BS on the VM.
The only thing I can think of, as I was driving home, is that there is a GPO on one of the DC that has a desginated print server policy set. But prior to last week the forest leve was 2000 and now it's 2003. I just don't know Server 2000 enough to know if GPO's
worked in the same way they do in 2003.
Right now printers are connected to other servers in a ad hoc mentality it seems, there has never been a true print server.
Anyone ever have this problem before?
I'm truly puzzled...

Hi Mid.Hudson-IT,
Before we begin ,we should ensure we have configured the printer server correctly .
Here is a link for reference of configuring the printer server .
Print server role: Configuring a print server
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775791(v=ws.10).aspx
"I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via DNS"
From this sentence ,I can`t figure out whether you have tried to ping the server both with the IP adress and name adress from the client ?
If we can ping the print server from the client,we can ensure the connection to the printer server is good .
Then we can try to install the printer driver directly to have a check .In the adress bar of Windows Explorer ,input "\\server name \the printer name"
If we cannot ping the print server ,we should troubleshoot the network issue firstly.
We also can check the event viewer for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Best regards

Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"

Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
Here are the particulars:
This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
"home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB
Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MB

Let's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.1
Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
Apply now. Good luck.
Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.

I downloaded Lion OSX and at the end I received a notice that Safari can not connect to Server. All internet connections work including Safari on other user on same computer. I downloaded 13items and installed only 12. What do I do now ?

If I go into Safari the blue line goes up to end of "http" on adress and freezes. Where do I go from here.:::???

Hi There Linc Davis,
Wow, you are the best.
Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?

Safari can't connect to server with parental controls on

I have one user with admin rights and one user plus guest with parental controls turned on. Recently when parental controls are turned on, I get 'safari can't connect to server' error. When I turn parental controls off again I can connect to the internet again. Why is this?

Hi and welcome....
Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

Can't connect to server to accept terms/conditons

after upgrading to ios 7, icloud is not working on iphone 4S—asks me to accept terms and conditions, but then says "can't connect to server" to do so.
Tried turing off and on, any others having this issue?
Thanks

Feel so foolish. After deleting as you suggest, I realized that the mail I'm reading on my iPad is, in fact, the mail from the cloud. I was expecting an iCloud web page like I see on my computer. Apparently, that's not the case. If I've been receiving email on my iPad, then I'm already setup properly.
Thanks for you help anyway ..

TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

Can't connect to server what could it be?

When I try to connect to my network in the finder the other servers do not show in the" Network" designation in the finder pane. I am using the "browse" feature (Command K), have 3 computers that I usually can "see". I am connected to the internet via Airport *and have not had this problem before.* The other machines can see me. Also the configuation in the finder pane is different than I remember. Netork used to be on top of my drives and now it is on the bottom in the second column from the left.
I am sure there is a simple fix. Simple for you, difficult for me!

I don't think you even need a router for those Macs… someone please confirm or correct me, and I think the Mini has an autosensing socket that will let you talk directly to another ethernet device, in this case the iMac…
That aside, when you're not using DHCP please specify exactly what you've put in IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Servers and Search Domains on both Macs, and do they both have AppleTalk on?
"the router's IP address, the correct subnet mask, and an invented IP for the iMac, making it one integer larger than the Mini…" is only two IP addresses and this needs one each for the Macs and a third for the router… The router probably has a factory default of either 10.0.0.2 or 192.168.1.2, yes? In that case the Macs want to be x.x.x.3 and x.x.x.4
Then, did you literally mean "Connect to Server from the Mini, it can't see the iMac…" It won't, unless you either enter the iMac's Server Address or manually Browse…

Can't connect to server from outside
