I am running an instance of Grafana on my machine. It is open on port 3000. But instead of having to type 1xx.x.x.x:3000 can I configure this to be my-grafana.com? I have no idea what I would even search to accomplish. Thanks to all of those who reply in advance.

I created a new VM, and was able to ping it using its IP address.  However, I can't ping it by name - even though it belongs to the same "WORKGROUP" as my other windows machines.  What makes this particularly strange is the result of the following command:  C:\&gt;ping -a 192.168.0.20  Pinging WIN-AOHA8MSD3D0 [192.168.0.20] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.0.20: bytes=32 time&lt;1ms TTL=128 ...   So the machine name can be queried, as indicated above, but when I turn around with that name it fails:  C:\&gt;ping WIN-AOHA8MSD3D0 Ping request could not find host WIN-AOHA8MSD3D0. Please check the name and try again.   In case it is relevant, the VM is in VMWare Workstation 7.1 using a bridged network adapter.  The guest OS is Windows 2008 R2 SP1.  The host is Windows 7 x64.  Originally the ping of the IP address had not worked either, but I had created an ICMP rule on the guest OS that allowed the echo request.  What is necessary to make the machine name "pingable?"

My SoulSeek client Nicotine+ checks my open ports during initial configuration and promts that the one port number it needs is closed, cutting me off frmo about 50% of the users. Is there anyway I can open that particular port for the application to use?  RUnning ubuntu desktop 13.04. I have not manually installed any firewalls, but not sure if its included in the default installation.

I recently installed MySQL 5 on Windows 2003 and tried configuring an instance. Everything worked fine until I got to "Applying Security settings", at which point it gave me the above error (Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)).  I do have a port 3306 exception in my firewall for 'MySQL Server'.

Hi I want to make my own SNS (Social Networking Site), so I installed LAMP on my Ubuntu 14.04. But its not accessible from the internet! I can run the server only on my computer by typing "https:\localhost" on my browser.  I don't want any domains; I just want that whosoever from any part of the world wants to use my SNS he/she just have to type the ip-address and my SNS opens i.e. I want my server accessible from the internet.  My router is Binatone DT 850W. Can you please tell me what should I do?

Sometimes I need to send my traffic to a proxy, sometimes I don't.  Currently, I have to go to the settings every time to click it.  Is there any simple way for me to switch this? For instance, use a shell command to do this.

I mean if I've got something like this:  ssh -L 9000:itc.ua:80 andy@localhost   It will open port 9000 on my local machine and when I hit http://localhost:9000 in Firefox it will forward to itc.ua:80 So far so good.  BUT what if I want to hit that opened port 9000 from a different machine? For example I've got another machine on my local network and on that other machine I'm trying to navigate with Firefox to http://&lt;IP ADDRESS OF MACHINE WITH MY SSH -L 9000 Tunnel&gt;:9000 and this fails.   Is there any way to make it work?

I'd like to do much the same thing described at  for web app development purposes, but with the twist that I'd like requests to fakedomain.com:80 to be routed to localhost:8080, say, so that I don't have to actually use my development machine's port 80.  I'd welcome answers that take the form of:   Small changes to configuration files like /etc/hosts, and/or An easy-to-configure proxy server I could run   Note:  takes the approach of setting a firewall rule to forward all incoming traffic on port 80 to port 20559. That may be an acceptable solution, but ideally, I'd like to forward only a specific domain + port combination.

I'm fairly new to Ubuntu so please bear with me. I use Teamviewer on my Windows machines and love it, even more so that there is an Ubuntu version. As most will know it can't start on computer startup as a service on Ubuntu so if my machine reboots for any reason I'm screwed.  Obviously I don't want to enable port 5900 to the outside world as even with a secure password VNC access is hackable.  So, I have installed, configured and successfully tested OpenVPN which means I can "see" my machine but I'm wondering what would be the best solution for remote controlling it if it at the login page with no user logged in.  VNC? X11(although I'm sketchy as to what exactly this is). Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks  Paul.

I'm running a Samba server on my MacBook and I've also set up port forwarding to said server from my router.  My public IP is 106.51.x.x (according to google and a few other services) and my Mac's local IP is 192.168.x.x, but when I head to my router's configuration page, it says my external IP is 10.242.x.x.  This is what I don't understand, when connected to my home WiFi, using the 10.242.x.x address works just fine. But if I try to access the same over 4G, the connection times out.  As for the public address, neither WiFi nor 4G works.  Is there some setting on my Mac (I'm running MacOS Sierra) that I must alter to make it visible to the public?

I would like to see what ports are open on my machine, e.g. what ports my machine is listening on. E.g. port 80 if I have installed a web server, and so on.  Is there any command for this?

You can reach this IP address  (if my computer is online). I want to assign a domain to it so I wonder how is that possible when I have no DNS? I do own my domain which is ".com". My IP is static.  Thanks

What is the best way to SSH to my sever behind company proxy , it seems that 22 port is not opened by default , is there any simple way to do that rather than to install corkscrew ??   When I do :   ✗ ssh -i ~/.ec2/mykey.pem ubuntu@XX.XX.XXX.XXX ssh: connect to host XX.XX.XXX.XXX port 22: Operation timed out

I'm very new to Ubuntu and I want to know: what is the exact use of /etc/hosts?   Lets say I'm adding this into it :  127.0.x.x mydomain   What does that mean?
