Downloads work on LAN, but not WAN

File uploads and downloads work fine on the local network, but from outside the company files can be uploaded but not downloaded. This would seem like a firewall isssue, but to argue it I need to know what protocol and ports are being used.
A complication is that the System Admin didn't want to set up another server for access to the outside, so he used an exitsting server that was already set up. He put Apache proxy on that server and pointed it to the database server. It works alright locally so should work from outside too, but if someone kowns of configuration issues I would be grateful to hear about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Luis,
The error is just "Network Timeout -- server taking too long", etc. It takes no more than 10 seconds locally for the download window to appear, so I doubt if the minute or so it takes to timeout on the outside is due to slow response of the server. I've hit the "Try Again" button on the timeout page repeatedly and that hasn't helped. So you think it's all port 80, huh? Since everything works on the local network I'm inclined to think it has to be firewall issue. I guess I'll be talking to the firewall guys next. Thanks for the insight. I appreciate the response.

  • JMF working on LAN but not over web !!

    Hai,
    I am doing project on virtual classroom. I need to stream video over the internet. My program works fine on LAN but doesn't work on net.
    My idea basically is to capture video from tutor and write the data to server pc's port (intermediator), so that student any where in the world can acess my server and its port to retrieve the live data.
    The MediaLocator for both sending and retrieving data (i.e tutor and student )
    MediaLocator m = new MediaLocator("rtp://192.168.1.253:23232/video/255");
    Please let me is there something wrong with my logic, with media locator or with my other part of program.
    I would be extremely gratified if someone would share some idea on streaming data over internet.
    Thanks in advance !!

    Then transmit to a broadcast address xxx.xxx.xxx.255I think works only on LAN. But my project works on internet.
    I have decided to drop my intermediator (server).
    Now I trying to work on direct communication between tutor (transmitter) and student (reciever). I can get two IP addresses of the student -
    1 : Internet Proxy server IP address, (e.g. 203.109.246.29) which is uniquely identified on internet.
    2 : Local IP address, (e.g. 192.168.1.23) which is valid on LAN.
    I provided media locator as rtp://203.109.246.29:23232/video/1. If the student's pc is internet outlet then student is able to see the video. But if the student is sitting on LAN with some other pc as proxy server then tutor will write the data to the proxy server (since the proxy server is uniquely identified on the internet and not the student's pc). My problem now is how data be tranferred from proxy server to student's pc??
    I feel like some broadcasting to be done on the LAN. I want to achieve it without having some program running on the Internet Proxy server.

  • Realplayer video downloader works in IE but not Firefox how can I fix this?

    My Realplayer video download function does not work in Firefox although it did several upgrades ago. It works fine in IE but the blue "record this video" does not appear in Firefox. I've searched all over the web for the "fixes" but none of them seem to work.

    hello rmctoledo, sorry we cannot provide support for third-party extensions or plugins here. you may have to use the support channels provided by real to search for a solution or report the problem to them. thank you for your understanding!

  • PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

    I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
    Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

    I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.

  • File download works in Firefox but not IE

    Hi All,
    I have the code below,
    fds = new FileDataSource(fileName);
    response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UNICODE");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control","public");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fds.getName() + "\"");
    is = fds.getInputStream();
    in firefox its asking the path where to download the csv format file.
    But in IE one pop-up is opened and it says "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here for options.." after clicking the download options its not downloading...
    Any inputs highly appreciate..
    Thanks

    Can you get the file to download in IE under any circumstances? If not, are you sure it's not the browser's security settings stopping you? Have you tried explicitly allowing downloads from your site in the client browser? What exactly happens when you try to download in IE?

  • One imac works on lan but not other

    Our LAN is based on a combination Motorola cable modem and router that provides WiFi and 4 ethernet ports.  Our two iMACs and an iPOD, as well as two printers, have been connected to the LAN over WiFi, using the Airport setup.   This arrangement generally has worked well, though resetting the router has to be done more often than I think is normal.  A few days ago, I began using an Ethernet cable to connect one of the iMACs since it sits next to the router.  Since then that computer (computer A) has never dropped off the LAN as it sometimes did.  However, the other computer (computer B) is having some odd problems.  For example, when computer A is running, computer B cannot send or receive emails, though it connects to the Web satisfactorily.  It still is necessary to sometimes reset the router in order for computer B to connect to the LAN.  I suspect that the LAN setup on one or both computers is at fault but have no idea what to look for or to change.  The iPOD seems not to have any new problems, though it never has consistently detected the LAN; this problem seems to be mostly due to the location of the iPOD relative to the router.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.  Thanks.

    The router is only two months old.  I switched my computer (computer A) back to connecting to the LAN via WiFi and my wife said the problems with her computer went away.  I certainly can continue to use WiFi to connect to the LAN if that is what is needed but using the Ethernet cable did prove to be a bit more reliable for my computer.  Again, any other ideas will be appreciated.

  • Transmitting with JMStudio works on LAN but not over the web!

    I've been reading all kinds of posts related to this problem.. it was asked many times but noone has given the answer.
    The transmitter has to put the receivers ip and some port.
    The receiver has to open rtp session with the transmitter's ip and the same port.
    On a LAN it works, but over the internet it doesn't (the receiver keeps "waiting for data").
    The two computers I used for trying that, are on no LAN's.. they are assigned a unique ip by the isp (two simple broadband or dial-up connections with single computers).
    Why doesn't it work?
    (The ip's I used are (for example) the ones that appear in whatsmyipaddress.com and i'm behind no proxy)

  • Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives

    Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
    A nonprofit has asked me to configure new Windows 7 computers so that all content is BLOCKED from the hard drive, but any downloads may be downloaded to the individual's flash drive.
    The nonprofit allows individuals to play games, check e-mails, but we have a problem with them trying to upgrade Firefox, Google, etc.
    They want all configuration to the DEFAULT STATUS after a person log off the computer....no upgrades to any programs!
    I will occasionally upgrade programs once a month or so, as the volunteer administrator.
    They have changed the controls from Windows ME and XP, when I was a computer programmer and installer (I also worked during Windows 3.11, 95 and 98/98 SE versions as well)...
    Anyone help me, please?

    1. You can change security with cacls function. However if you do it in wrong way, you can cut the branch you are sitting on:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490872.aspx
    2. If you are working in Active Directory, consider Group Policy
    3. Consider third pty software for granular access control (DeviceLock,...)
    4. There is nearly nothing that you can transfer from previous technologies. (Even nice
    steady state in Windows XP has no continuation. Consider
    kiosk mode in Windows 8.1)

  • Sockets work on localhost but not remotely?

    hi there,
    I have created a simple multithreaded client / server program.
    The Server listens on port 2222 for clients. When a client connects - the client sends its ip address to the server and then disconects. More than 1 client can connect at the same time to the server and the server also listens continuasly. I have 2 problems with the program...
    a) the programs work on localhost but not on remote machines? (Well not over my LAN anyway).
    b) I am getting 2 lots of 'datain' when the server recieves an ip address from the client when the client should only send it once.
    The code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated.

    http://www.projectg.dsl.pipex.com

    In your client you are creating two sockets (why?). One connected to localhost, the other connected to the host specified using readLine.
    If your client runs on the same machine you have started your server, you have two connects to your server instead of one.
    The ip adresse is sent using the socket connected to localhost. That is why it does not work on remote machines.
    Hope this helps.

  • Java works on chrome but not on firefox

    Java works on Chrome but not Firefox. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Chacked all appropriate boxes in Control Panel. Deleted JavaReg.Dat. Enabled plugin. Uninstalled all Java from my computer and reinstalled. Cleared Firefox Cache. No luck.

    Do you see the Java plugin in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins ?
    Firefox is a 32 bit application, so you need to install the 32 bit Java version.
    See Java Platform > Java SE 7U5 or Java 6U33 (Downoad JRE)

  • Flash 10 works in FF but not Safari, OS X 10.5

    About a week ago flash stopped working in Safari and both firefox and safari started bugging me to install a newer version.  Muttering, I went to the download page and downloaded the latest, which claims to be for Safari, Opera, and firefox.
    Installation completes fine with no errors.  Firefox works.  But in Safari, I just get the usual 'no flash installed, would you like to download it?'
    I've downloaded and installed multiple times, no dice.  Plug-ins are enabled on Safari.  I do not have settings folders to delete--/Library/Application Supprt/Adobe has no flash player folder, only Acrobat, Updater6, and Help.
    This whole thing is a black box and I don't see what else to do.  Installation completes and there's no way to verify anything.  Any ideas would be welcome.

    Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?

    Hi Bruce, Adobe Flash Player is Installed separately into IE, since Windows uses the ActiveX Control. Firefox and other non-IE
    browsers must use the plugin Installer.
    This is the Adobe site :
