Hi Guys
Really embarrassed to be asking this but have been stuck on it for a while now and for somebody that has been using RDC since it was first introduced, it's bad.
I've been away fro B4A for a year now and just after that my Windows server crashed. I'm now trying to get my application back up and running but have run into a connection problem.
As background, I'm running free Avast (don't believe it has a firewall), malwarebytes, and windows defender with the option to display a message if it blocks anything - I have also disabled it but it made no difference. I've also specifically allowed port 17178, not sure if I've done this right because the instruction were for a different version of Control Panel.
I can run "http://127.0.0.1:17178/?method=test" and "http://192.168.1.39:17178/?method=test" successfully, ie get the message
"RemoteServer is running (Thu Jun 23 15:55:09 ICT 2016)
Connection successful."
ipconfig gives me the ip address of my PC 192.168.1.39 as used above
BUT when I try to connect through a browser with my No-IP address it times out - I can get my No-IP address through their DUC utility which I have running all the time.
If I do a nslookup on my No-IP myname.mydomain.com it comes back with the same external IP Address 171.xxx.xxx.xx
I've set up port forwarding to 17178 for 192.168.1.39 using TCP and UDC
If I run PortCheckTool.com for the external address 171.xxx.xxx.xx for port 17178 it tells me that it cannot see port 17178. In fact if I enter any port in there eg 21,22,23,80,110 it can't see those either - I thought that these were standard.
What stupidly simple thing am I missing
Hope that I have provided enough information.
Thanks for your patients
