my server is running with a static ip. while im going through this trial and error process of registering my name servers i should at least be able to ping my server from a remote computer shouldnt i? it just keeps timing out but i figured at least that much should work.
View 7 RepliesI have recently wen't with a Windows VPS and am wondering the best way to do backups to a remote computer (hopefully without buying software). Any suggestions?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a remote XP PC: 172.16.1.5 OpenVPN connection with route added for 192.168.2.0/24 to go via the VPN
Now on the other end the network consists of:
I have a OpenVPN server inside the lan on 192.168.2.245
Its default gateway is 192.168.2.1
I have 3 Windows Servers, 192.168.2.246, 247 and 248. All gateways are set to 192.168.2.1.
I have a ethernet router on the network, 192.168.2.1, it has a route added for 192.168.0.0/16 to go via 192.168.2.245, and route added for 172.16.0.0/24 to go via 192.168.2.245 also). the 192.168.0.0/16 is incase any other LANs are connected at a later date, if computers saw any packets not on the the 192.168.2.x subnet they would be routed to the default gateway which would then pass them to the OpenVPN router.
The trouble is, i can remotely connect and ping to the OpenVPN router fine and also the ethernet router, however when i ping any of the Windows boxes it times out. But i can open up Remote Desktop and connect to the windows box without problem, infact if i am running 'ping 192.168.2.246 -t' it will suddenly come alive but only after the RDP connection is made.
Is this something funny with the routing? I want to keep the OpenVPN server internal to the network and i appreciate it is hitting the ethernet router then being passed to the OpenVPN but something is weird as it fires up RDP fine but not ping. No firewalls are enabled on any of the boxes. If i log into ssh on the OpenVPN router or ethernet router i can ping from that to the windows boxes fine.
Its as if a ICMP redirect is issued, and all is well after the 1st connection. Not too sure but could anyone be kind enough to enlighten me?
15ms ping vs 40ms ping vs 170ms ping

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering if there is a way to control your website (that is, uploading, editing and so on) when you do not have access to your own "home-computer". You do have access to other computers and the internet, but these computers do not have your local root folder of course.
So is there a way to control your website, let's say, when you are on vacation.
I recently logged into my Windows Server 2003 OS Server via Remote Desktop and was met with a message/box saying Why did this computer shutdown. It had a dropdown field for a reason and then empty text fields for Problem ID and Comment.
What steps can I take to figure out what happened?
Server is a fresh install of Win Server 2003
I have been using Vista 32-bit with FileZilla for 2-years on this computer. I haven't made any recent changes to my system, but suddently NO FTP clients work.
I tried FileZilla and FireFTP (firefox extension). Neither can connect. FileZilla just gives a timeout error. FireFTP has been "connecting" for 5-minutes. No success.
I tried to bypass my Linksys router and go directly through my cable model. They still do not work.
I *CAN* connect to an FTP site using telnet command.
I want to host my personal domain from my computer..
If I buy a static IP address

Are all computer modems cabable of recieveing caller ID information. I came across some opensource code for caller on on a computer and the information says that the phone wire has to be plugged into the computers "caller id capable" modem.
Know I know most people these days have a network card because most people connect using a high speed connection. However I would love to setup this program on my home computers for when I get a call and I am at my desktop I can see who is calling

If I get a reseller account with like 50 gigs more space (or any amount) than I actually use, can I use some of that space I'm paying for to backup my home computer? This isn't really a question of how (although I'll accept advice) but more a question of 'is this typically allowed' or 'does anybody else do this'?

However, when I setup PHP and tried to access a page with <?php phpinfo(); ?> it displayed nothing but a blank page. When I viewed the source is showed the PHP, therefore it was not parsed...

to ship 2 machines to LINX and DECIX from the US, and obviously need either adapters or just new cables. I'm just not certain what plug type is used at both or either location. I guess I'm looking for information similar to like what we have here in the US (NEMA 1-15 or NEMA 2-20).
I'm looking at these adapters:

I have 3 computers on the same network. One running apache2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and the others with Windows7. I want to access the website I set up from a Windows machine. When I type in the URL, domain.com, I get a 404 error. When I type in 127.0.1.1/domain.com I get the directory listing for the website. I have to actually type 127.0.1.1/domain.com/public_html/ before the website can actually be seen. I would like to get rid of the public_html part. I am brand new to all this.

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe are currently in a limited Alpha for a very demanding web application. We'll (hopefully) be in closed Beta in 3 months and go live / open beta after all issues are fixed.
Our problem is that we know that we will need, even for the open beta, a costly setup.
We are talking about 2 front-end servers for Apache / PHP / Memcached, 2 for a Mysql Cluster / replication / partitioned (undecided) and at least 1 just for pre-processing stuff that later will go to the database.
Growing from those requirements is very possible, so we would like to be able to add new computers to the cluster, more processing machines, more front-ends, a load balancer, etc.
Of course we have considered the Cloud (Amazon S3 and stuff), but those 5 initial machines are a must for us.
My question is, what is the best solution here, a rack with a private Lan/fast switches?
What are the recommended companies for this kind of installations? Will they manage everything or just rent the rack?
Any clues about how costly (setup and monthly) this kind of setup would be? I can't find specific prices for these "special installations" anywhere, they all want us to call and we are just preparing for 4/6 months on the road.
Are there any good methods for getting backups from my host to my home computer in an automated fashion?
a way to sort of "set it and forget it" and get a backup at least once per week.
When i add a new domain to plesk, it puts in the correct Name servers in, but it also adds the computers name into the list and when getting it checked out from intodns.com it flags it saying missing Name Servers.
Into DNS : [URL] ....
I have also attached a screenshot showing what DNS Manager is showing.
I have some customers who use a VPN to connect to the internet securely. (They live in a restricted country.)
So when they connect to the VPN, it gives them a new IP, and when they go to "whatismyip.com" it shows the IP of the VPN server, as expected.
The problem is that sometimes their IP changes back to their local ISP without any indication. The VPN still appears to work (green lights are displayed in the VPN icon in the sytem tray), but their IP is now the local ISP providers, which means they are not fully "protected" any more.
And that is bad.
So, what I'm thinking is to find a Windows program or script or something that runs every x minutes.. and checks to see what is the current IP. If it isn't as expected (the VPN server's IP), then a big red warning window would start flashing on the screen, so they can then reboot or restart the VPN.
Does anyone know of such a program?
(BTW - they are using openVPN, latest version. And yes -- it works properly 99% of the time.. but for some reason the IP just changes back to local ISP for no apparent reason. The log does not show any errors or helpful indicators.)
Can I just get a DSL line or a cable modem and host the site or my own computer?
View 14 Replies View Relatedcan you tell me of a few distribuitors/wholesale to get parts from for building a few 1U servers. I would like to find Supermicro cases/motherboards but if they are general computer parts I guess they work.
I know INGRAM Micro has a program to get discount or something, but haven't researched much about it.
I have a Windows 2003 Server I use as a regular computer.
It would occasionally slow down to a crawl and programs become unresponsive. The hard drive light is usually on when this happens, and it usually lasts like a minute or two, then things are back to normal again.
Sometimes I'm lucky and get to open up task manager to try and see what's causing this. However every time the CPU load is low, and memory usage is normal.
How can I figure out what is causing this, or how to get rid of it?
1) If I'm logged into my {other VPS} with Putty, then
ssh root@67.xx.xx.xxx
successfully logs me into {new VPS}, after the password prompt, so I know the root password can login (some of the time)
2) ...but not my Windows computer, both Putty, and SFTP fail.
The SFTP error message is :
"ERROR:> [7/31/2009 9:48:08 AM] Can't connect to 67.xx.xx.xxx:22. SFTP21 error = #0."
Port 22 is correct, according to hosting support.
3a) Hosting support said...
"Based on the information you have provided to us, I am assuming that either your firewall or ISP is blocking the standard 22 SSH port. If you would like, we can change this to a custom port number."
3b) That response doesn't help, since I'm using port 22 for the {other VPS}
I just heard this story on NPR yesterday discussing cloud computing, how you can use external computers to do super-computer sized tasks without having the hardware in house yourself.
If we host colocated servers, how feasible is it to get our servers into that game?
