I am using the FreeDNS Update client to dynamically update the IP address of a subdomain. I can access https://localhost:8282/svn/ on the laptop but I cannot access it from https://my.domain.com:7430/svn/.

I enabled port forwarding on my router to connect the internal 8282 port to the external 7430 port. The request always times out. Interestingly, I have Glassfish running on the same machine under a different port using the same my.domain.com and it works fine. I also verified my.domain.com resolves to my router's IP address. Any idea why the request times out?

Router Port Forwarding Setup:

GlassFish (External Port: 7429; Internal Port: 8080; To IP Address: 192.168.1.122)
VisualSVN (External Port: 7430; Internal Port: 8282; To IP Address: 192.168.1.122)

The VisualSVN server is setup to listen to port 8282 over my.domain.com same as Glassfish.

  • What happens when you telnet to that port? – Driftpeasant Dec 09 '11 at 21:35
  • It is unable to make a connection. I setup the port forwarding the same way I did for Glassfish so I think that's ok. Any other thoughts? – Adam Dec 12 '11 at 14:31
  • Did you telnet to localhost:8282 or to my.domain.com:7430? Because if the first works, and the second doesn't, then something's wrong with the port forwarding on the router. What happens if you try to just map 8282 to 8282? – Driftpeasant Dec 12 '11 at 15:12
  • I tried telnet for both and they both just say connecting for a long time but don't do anything. If I am on the laptop hosting the SVN server, I can access localhost:8282 in my browser but my.domain.com:7430 doesn't work regardless of whether I'm on the laptop or a different computer outside my network. I think you're right. Please see above edits regarding port setup. I did try making the ports the same (7430) at one point but that didn't help either. – Adam Dec 12 '11 at 15:40
  • As a test - disable the Glassfish mapping and redo the VisualSVN mapping. – Driftpeasant Dec 12 '11 at 16:44
  • No dice. I disabled the Glassfish mapping and even tried making the ports both 8282 for VisualSVN and the request just times out. I agree with you. There is something funky going on with the port forwarding. – Adam Dec 12 '11 at 17:06
  • The only other thing I can think to do is this: disable SSL and try. It's possible your cert is locked to the domain name localhost or somesuch and is causing your issue. I doubt it, but I'd give it a try. – Driftpeasant Dec 12 '11 at 17:09
