Windows says 8123 is denying access

[lorcott (Scott)]

I used the latest haos_ova-10.0. I updated core and supervisor

I have not intentionally done anything to the router. It was unattended for a week when this happened.

And do you run your HA over WIFI ? ( are your windows machine where you installed VMware and HA. connected to your network, through WIFI ??? , or cable ?

[lorcott (Scott)]

this is from the windows machine that Virtualbox/Linux is running on

[aceindy]

It looks like MacOS automatically adds www when an address can’t be found (i’ll never understand the reasoning of Mac’s)

Anyway, what this whole topic lacks (i’ve been monitoring a while now) is some structure.

• What kind of network is setup for VM? Bridged, NAT, host only?? (it should be bridged)
• To which interface has it been bound?? (should be your wired network)
• Can you use telnet to confirm port 8123 is open on 192.168.1.99 ?

[lorcott (Scott)]

the network says WIFI but that’s just the name of the router. I need to fix that eventually.

[boheme61]

That’s not the answer to my question …
and why do you call your “Ethernet” connection for “Scotts WIFI network” ?

[boheme61]

mynetworksettings.com … are you joking ?

I asked you 3times or so in regards to DNS, then you have this “bogus” dns-suffix

[lorcott (Scott)]

aceindy…answers to questions.

As I mentioned earlier, nothing changed between the 6 months of working perfectly and failure.

• Network is Bridged to wireless network (I know its NAMED Wi-Fi and that’s an error I’m trying to solve but any WIFI to this machine has been disabled (I’ve checked by disconnecting ethernet and losing my connection with the vm.

• Vm says its bridged to Intel(r) Ethernet Connection I219-V (see below)

-can you please instruct me as to how to use telnet to confirm port?

[lorcott (Scott)]

I don’t know where that’s being introduced. All the adapters are showing 192.168.1.1 with a secondary of 4.4.4.4. Digging into that now

[lorcott (Scott)]

so it seems that my Verizon router (FIOS) uses that url for DNS. Seems that it loops back to 192.168.1.1 (the address of the router).

[boheme61]

ok, never seen/heard about such a “weird/pointless” solution (this should in my world not be default settings, on a network interface), to me it just looks like it could mess up things

@lorcott

can you please instruct me as to how to use telnet to confirm port?

Open a command prompt and:

When port is not open (f.e.8122)

[lorcott (Scott)]

no luck…what am I doing wrong. Tried on Windows machine, VM and a Mac on the network.

[boheme61]

what will happen in a system where windows 10(default) is running mDNS (where he has his VM, bridged on and interface with hardcoded connection-specific-dns-suffix) ( i dont know if he ever restarted the windows machine ! ) and a Mac-computer running it’s own “variant” of mDNS ? and in consideration that his HA has changed IP number maybe 10 times recently

[lorcott (Scott)]

the win machine has been restarted multiple times. The router, the switch and the MAC have all been power cycled after changes.

[boheme61]

use this to telnet in windows

https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

[aceindy]

Go to control panel / add and remove programs / add features
and include telnet client

[aceindy]

That is why we first use IP address
(I don’t rely on mDNS at all, very unstable and not working 1/2 of the time)

[boheme61]

true thou i always ONLY use IP on my internal network, thou i can’t say if all APPS(in windows), and Integrations/ADD-ONS(in HA) use this as first choice, it seems like it doesn’t when going through my mDNS cache, and i never heard of a Router ( Verizon ) who per default adds hardcoded “connection-specific-dns-suffix” to all network interfaces ( well i don’t know if that counts virtual interface as in VM’s )

Here you go
