server 2012 using wireless for off grid network - wifi

This question is similar to Access IIS on Windows server 2012 through wireless directly without router we tried some of the windows 8 applets to set up a shared connection but none are successful on windows server 2012.
On the 2012 server we are from command line running
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=haxxy key=txectxec keyUsage=persistent
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The above completes successfully and we can try to connect.
But a computer connecting is not getting assigned an ip address.. how can i get the wifi to have an ip or to offer the servers dhcp?
If i do ipconfig non the server the wireless has been assigned 192.168.173.1 - but im unsure what provided that ip address.
If i go to the server's dhcp under server bindings the 192.168.173.1 ip address is not available from there.

The http://www.connectify.me free verson worked and was nice so we bought paid version. The scripts at Dror Gluska (2012) - http://uhurumkate.blogspot.co.il/ got me close.

lack of communication between hyper-v and physical machine

I would like to set up SMS notifications for the infrastructure auditing application. the application server stands on hyper-v. huawei modem is in a physical machine because hyper-v is not possible to connect usb. on this machine I set something like netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=server address listenport=10080 connectaddress=192.168.8.1 connectport=80.
for some reason, port 10080 does not open, there is no communication between hyper-v and the machine with the modem. manual opening of the port on the firewall does not work. through cmd does not work. modem works correctly because when it is installed locally - notifications work. does anyone know where the problem may lie? how to communicate machines?

Plastic Client unable to see Plastic Server

Morning,
I am in the process of moving our plastic server to a new machine. All going well so far, users, configs good, databases still transferring (will take a while).
However, I've tripped at a basic hurdle. Clients on our network are unable to see the server and it appears to be linked to good ol' windows firewall - as on disabling windows firewall on the server the client is then able to see the server.
Info:
Server OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard v. 1809
Client OS: Windows 10 Pro, Windows 11 Pro
Port used: 8087
Old server has been disconnected from the network
Troubleshooting so far
Using Telnet in command line on client computer confirms the port is open on the server's IP
Firewall rule created opening TCP 8087 over Domain, Private, Public - inbound and outbound
Tried reverting to the default port 8084
Any help much appreciated

Cannot Connect to a Firebird 2.5 database remotely

I currently have a Firebird 2.5 database at a client premises, installed on a Windows 7 Pro machine (32 bit), that has multiple stations in their local network that can connect to the database, along with the local machine being able to connect with our application and IBExpert.
However, for some of our software packages, a remote connection is required (outside of the local network). This previously was working but no longer works.
When I connect with FlameRobin from my office (I'm located in a different city / different network), I receive the following error message:
IBPP::SQLException
Context: Database::Connect
Message: isc_attach_database failed
SQL Message: -923
Connection not established
Engine Code : 335544421
Engine Message :
connection rejected by remote interface.
Performing this connection attempt with IBExpert, both from my office and from other external networks fail with a same message.
However, I am getting TCP/IP communication from what I can see. Here are the details of my troubleshooting steps for the last week:
Originally, I was receiving the following error when connecting from outside the network:
"Connection not established
Connection refused by remote interface"
Since that time, we have done a restart of the router and now have the current "connection rejected by remote interface." error message.
I can telnet to the public IP through port 3050 from my office and other outside networks.
I tested port 3050 on sites like YouGetSignal.com or CanYouSeeMe.org and they appear as open.
Other ports that we communicate on publicly are open and communicating.
The site has Kaspersky antivirus installed but all tests to connect via IBExpert while Kaspersky was in sleep mode behaved the same.
Installation of Firebird 2.5 to another workstation in the same local network, pointing to port 3051 (both in Firebird.conf and in the Windows Firewall and Router) show up as being open through Telnet and CanYouSeeMe.org but again, cannot be communicated on from outside via port 3051.
IBExpert works from a workstation in the network to the server
The server currently has no entry for RemoteBindAddress in the Firebird.conf
Wireshark shows that when a connecting from outside, there are packets coming through.
The TCP/IP test in IBexpert under Communication Diagnostics for the public IP as the host and the Service show the following Test Results:
Attempt connecting to XX.YY.ZZ.AAA.
Socket for connection obtained.
Found service 'GDS_DB' at port '3050'
Connection established to host 'XX.YY.ZZ.AAA',
on port 3050.
TCP/IP Communication Test Passed!
Database path, username, and password have all been checked multiple times.
locally on the server, I've changed security of the database.FDB and the security2.FDB to have Everyone, Full Control
At this point, we have a scheduled restart of the ISP's modem happening soon, although the fact that we have full TCP/IP communication over the port makes me doubtful that this is the issue.
If anyone can lead me down any recommended next steps to debug or to any tools that are available to help in this situation, that would be greatly appreciated.
This turns out to be a networking issue. We performed the following tests:
We performed a power cycle on the ISP's modem which showed no change in behavior
We connected a laptop directly to the ISP's modem but couldn't communicate to FB even with proper port forwarding rules in place on the machine and firewall.
We ran wireshark on both sides and on connection attempts, we found many attempts to connect with retransmissions that failed.
The technical team at the client side decided to install a VPN capable router and now we're good to go. From what we found there may be some kind of ISP blocking occurring as many of the tech teams remote services were failing to connect with similar behavior.
Hopefully this post helps people in the future with remote connectivity debugging, and all of the places you can look at when you're running into this problem.

VM has no Internet access

I am using Windows 8.1 in my laptop and I have created a Windows Server 2012 R2 Virtual Machine using Hyper-V.
I have tried to give the VM Internet access. I followed this thread, but my VM still has no Internet access.
I can see the Wi-Fi is bridged and the VM got an IP-address, and both my laptop and VM has same default gateway.
This doesn't sound like an issue with the HyperV setup. But instead just sounds like you aren't aware of the Enhanced Security Configuration placed on Internet Explorer by default in a server OS.
Check this out the following blog post on how to remove them.

Connect ios devices to local server via wifi

I have a localhost server on my laptop. Can I connect ios device to this localhost server through wifi?
What settings I must set up on wifi connection?
By localhost server , i assume you are talking about a HTTP server .
If you know the port on which the server is listening to , note it down.
If you dont , generally web servers are attached to port 80.
If both laptop and ios device is connected to the same network.
Then first note down the IPAddress of you laptop.
In windows you can do so by typing : ipconfig in the command prompt
In Unix or Linux based systems : type ifconfig in the terminal.
Lets assume you found out that your ipaddress is 192.168.1.2
Note down this IP Address of your wifi adapter.
Now , just type in IPAddress:Port in the web browser of your ios device to access the server.
eg: Type in 192.168.1.2:80 on the url bar of ios device.
