No external IP address shown in server on Windows 10

[otlichnik73]

Hi there everyone, I know there have been some discussions about this, but did anyone find a solution:

Stand-alone desktop with Win10   –  NoMachine server does not display external IP address, only local address in GUI.

Tried it all – UpnP is enabled, firewall disabled.

Use NM on four machines, 2 windows and 2 Linux, some on LAN some over internet. Three are working fine with firewall on and everything, but this one sucker just won’t go…

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hello otlichnik73,

we would need some more information:

1. The Router name and model to which the problematic Windows machine
is connected.

2. You mention you checked whether UPnP is enabled, you mean you checked it on the router which is attached to the problematic Windows machine?

3. Are there any other machines connected to that same router and which don’t have problems with port mapping?

4. Please enable debug, restart nxserver, reproduce the problem and cmd.exe as root (Administrator) and show us the result of the following commands:

”
C:\Program Files (x86)\NoMachine\bin\nxserver.exe –upnpmap
C:\Program Files (x86)\NoMachine\bin\nxserver.exe –upnpstatus
”

Please do this on 2 servers connected to the same router. One must
be the Windows server where port mapping is not working, and second any
of the servers where port mapping is working.

Instructions about debug and collecting logs you can find there: https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163.

Please send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com making sure to reference the topic.

Hi there Irek thanks for you help.

Well, I am a bit of a tech dummy, but followed the steps in the link you mentioned and this is compressed folder of the logs, I think … (attached)

But trying to run the commands you asked for just get that: “C:\Program not recognized as command or operable batch file”

I’m sure I’m getting something basic wrong …

Thanks for your patience

Hello otlichnik73,

Server logs weren’t enabled, so please do:

1. Open cmd as an administrator.

1.4. Server on Windows
Step 1 – Set debug level in server.cfg
Copy the InstallationDirectory/NoMachine/etc/server.cfg file in a temporary folder and open the file with an editor like WordPad. This is necessary for being able to edit the file.

Edit the copy of the server.cfg file, uncomment and set the following:

Change from:

#SessionLogLevel 6

To:

SessionLogLevel 7

Copy the modified server.cfg file to InstallationDirectory/NoMachine/etc/server.cfg. Administrative privileges are required.

2. Restart nxserver, open cmd as an administrator, and execute:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NoMachine\bin\nxserver.exe" --restart

3. Wait few minutes, and reproduce the problem, open cmd as an administrator, and execute:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NoMachine\bin\nxserver.exe" --upnpmap
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NoMachine\bin\nxserver.exe" --upnpstatus

Please do this on 2 servers connected to the same router. One must
be the Windows server where port mapping is not working, and second any
of the servers where port mapping is working.

Instructions about debug and collecting logs you can find there: https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163.

4. The Router name and model to which the problematic Windows machine
is connected.

5. You mention you checked whether UPnP is enabled, you mean you checked it on the router which is attached to the problematic Windows machine?

6. Are there any other machines connected to that same router and which don’t have problems with port mapping?

Logs received, but only from one of your computers. Did you send a second set separately?

Hello otlichnik73,

from the logs we can see that debug level wasn’t enabled – or at least it wasn’t enabled on the machine from which you sent logs.

On the affected machine which you are connecting -to- please follow the instructions as above, making sure

Change from:

#SessionLogLevel 6

To:

SessionLogLevel 7

and restarting the server.

Could you please give us the info for points 4, 5 and 6 as well? Thanks.
