Cant acces server from anywhere but pc its running on

[maetiskou]

I've successfully created server which works perfectly fine on localhost until i try to connect to it from any other computer in network...

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Server server = new Server(_hostname, _port, false, DefaultRoute);
            Database database = new Database();

            server.AccessControl.Mode = AccessControlMode.DefaultPermit;

            for (; ; )
            {
                switch (Console.ReadLine())
                {
                    default:

                        break;
                    case "exit":
                        return;
                }
            }
        }

public static async Task DefaultRoute(HttpContext context)
        {
                context.Response.StatusCode = 200;
                await context.Response.Send("Succesful Request");
                return;
        }

Database class does communication with mysql database stuff..

I've created exception in firewall and i've tried running program with admin privileges..

Hi @maetiskou on which hostname and which port number are you listening? Are you using an IP address or a hostname for _hostname? When trying to connect from a client, are you using the IP address or hostname? There has to be an explicit match between what you have for hostname and what comes in on the request (this is a restriction in the underlying http.sys).

Administrator is required if you use a port number under 1024, or, if you use * or + as the hostname, which will route any request on any DNS hostname/IP address to this instance (also making it a helpful debugging tool).

Could you try with * or + as the hostname in your constructor?

Thanks, Joel

Please reopen if the issue persists after trying the above.

Hi @jchristn i've tried all of the above before as i've seen it in other issues and nothing worked for me.

Nonetheless i am using .Net HttpListener instead as it was just enough to suit my needs..

Problem was for sure somewhere in my network or router settings anyway... But thanks for the help and i am sorry for leaving issue open.
