hmmm...what's wrong here?

[theremin]

So, I've had subsonic up and running fine for a while...about a month or so?

I was having all sorts of internet problems yesterday, and now subsonic doesn't work. Here's the exact situation:

I'm using no-ip.

no.ip:88 - link broken.
localhost:88 - works fine
actual ip:88 - no work.

changing port - same results.

Obviously I've rebooted the modem and router a decent amount.

Any thoughts?

Have you checked with your ISP? Just a thought. If you had serious problems yesterday, there could still be issues with central services with your ISP.

Oh, sorry....

another troubleshooting thing. I run teamviewer, a vnc client. It shows up a plan html page at the default port, even under the no-ip site.

So, mycomputer.no-ip.biz is actually connecting to my computer.

I feel like, all that trouble shooting is showing me that neither my isp nor no-ip is to blame. Things are coming through, and the ip is being resolved.

Am I understanding you correctly in assuming then that your only issue now is with Subsonic? You could of course try to force a DNS flush (ipconfig /flushdns at command prompt) on your computer, renew IP and restart the Subsonic service. See if that gets you anywhere.

just subsonic, and just when using something that's not localhost.

Just had some friends try it from their computers, in case it was actually working that way...nothing.

Tried renewing the ip. nothing.

by the way, if it wasn't obvious that this wasn't the problem before, I tried changing the port before also.

[deriksen]

And you didn't alter any settings in your firewalls, routers or proxies yesterday in atempts to fix your internet issues? Could your port forwarding be shot? Changing the port in the Subsonic service won't help if your router isn't configured to forward traffic to that port as well (sorry for stating the obvious. I am sure you already checked that).

I didn't alter any settings, but no, I hadn't thought about forwarding new ports. I think I'm toast tho. Thanks for the help but it's way too late, and I still have 3.5 pages of a paper to write. I'll revisit this in the afternoon.

I was having trouble using my "no-ip" domain URL to reach subsonic yesterday too. If you still aren't able to use it today, try typing in the actual IP address followed by the port number from an external client and see what happens. That worked for me yesterday.

However, today, everything seems to be working fine using my "no-ip" URL. I'm not sure what the hang up was yesterday...

most prob ya no-ip service, iv had the same problem before but not using no-ip

[theremin]

I still don't know quite what the problem was...I checked everything multiple times.

In the end, I switched to port 8888, and set a firewall exception for that port (attempts to add an exception for 88 just kept telling there already was an exception.)

Seems to work now.
