I have a Windows 2008R2 server, I'll call this 'dedserver' for clarity, that has hyperv on it. It runs another Windows 2008R2 server with IIS on it, I'll call this 'vpsserver'.
Both have a dedicated public ip address:
(faked addresses for security reasons)
dedserver: 64.64.64.64
vpsserver: 64.64.64.65
Both are accessible from the internet. I'm actually on the dedserver now typing this. I can access the vpsserver via hyper-v manager and I can goto a computer in the office and home and access the website.
When I attempt to access the website from the dedserver, which resides on the vpsserver, I am getting a timeout.
I rebooted both machines just to make sure. I did a ipconfig /flushdns, no luck.
I then did a tracert thewebsite.com:
C:\Users\someone>tracert www.thewebsite.com
Tracing route to techguy.ws [64.64.64.65]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 PLATINUM [64.64.64.64] reports: Destination host unreachable.
Trace complete.
It shows it is going through the dedserver to access the vpsserver, which makes sense.
What am I missing? Why can I not access the vpsserver's website from the dedserver?
I would like to use this for testing and it's really causing me to have a bad week :P
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
telnet <VPS.IP> 80
to see if you can connect to port 80)... Otherwise if the only one not able to access the VPS site is the Dedicated, sounds like a Network/Routing issue between Ded/VPSExternal
. Basically you should search for Host/Guest communication in Hyper-V andrewconnell.com/… google.com/…
