Problems switching ports

[mozztoff]

running subsonic 4.4 beta 1...

So I had subsonic running fine without any problems on port 80, then I installed VMware on my PC, VMing windows server 08 and now I can't connect through port 80 as I am assuming IIS is using this for its default website. So I changed subsonic to run on port 8080 which works fine, but I get blocked at work because the firewall is blocking 8080. I could access fine from work on port 80. I have since deleted VMware and the VM off my PC, however, I can still not get connection to subsonic when changing back to port 80. Any help??

if vmware is completely uninstalled make sure there are no more network devices installed. it installs a bunch of virtual network adapters to share your network connection with the vm.

you might want to check the binding order of your nics also, perhaps subsonic is binding to a different nic's ip than what you are using by forwarding port 80 to your pc

Never use port 80 - ISP's often use it or block it. 8080,8081, work fine.

In Subsonic Settings/Network - UNCHECK " Automatically configure your router to allow incoming connections to Subsonic (using UPnP or NAT-PMP port forwarding)." make sure to hit the SAVE button, you may have to scroll down to see it depending on your screen size. UPnP or Plug & Pray works sometimes, but not very often and you're better off learning what's going on anyway. You're dipping your toe into the network mgmt. thing anyway, might as well learn what's going on as home networks don't get simpler as time goes on. As your network gets more complex, you're going to have to learn this stuff! No time like the present.

Manually assign a fixed intenal IP and static route to your server at the upper end of the address range of the router, out of the way of DHCP, e.g. 192.168.1.254

Set up your router manually. uPNP might work, but most often it doesn't. Learing how to do it will be a skill you'll love having as your network grows.

Check the Subsonic Control Panel to make sure it's using the right port you're going to use. I typically use 8080, 8081, etc.

Set up port forwarding in your router to direct traffic on the selected port to your server.

Learn your external IP address assigned by your ISP.

Test your setup by entering your external IP:port# to see if it connects. e.g. http://24.88.76.61:8080/ If it works, you're good to go.
