Cannot access an intranet website from a pda
-
Hi, I migrated a web application from a local (virtual) server running Windows Server 2003 to another local (virtual) server running Windows Server 2012 R2. In our warehouse we do order picking with (non domain joined) pda's using this web application. The (motorola) pda's run Windows CE, and are connected to the network over wifi / wlan. I can connect to the web application on the old server from the pda's, but I cannot connect to the web application on the new server. I cannot even connect to the default website on the new server. I can connect to the web application on both the old and new servers, with normal domain joined PC's running Windows 7 and 10, and also with my iphone (safari browser). So the question is, how do I get my pda's to connect to the web application on the new server? Google has not been forthcoming, or I simply haven't been able to figure out the right search term. Any help very much appreciated. Please let me know if I have left out pertinent information or if there might be a better forum for this question. Regards, Johan

First off, are we sure it's not a network issue like firewall or routing? Can the PDA see the new web server. You may not have something like ping on the PDA, but you should be able to ping or traceroute from the server to the PDA. Assuming its not one of the above, could it be a SSL/TLS issue? Does the WS2012 server listen only for https, while the PDA is trying http only? If the PDA is trying https, does it speak a compatible version with the server (e.g PDA is using SSLv2 while server only accepts TLSv1.2 and later)? If that all seems correct, are there any logs on the WS2012 system that show the PDA connect attempts and why they were rejected?
Keep Calm and Carry On

Thanks for your reply. I wonder if it was some sort of dns / cache / whatever issue, as I got it to work this morning by simply using the IP address (which didn't work either yesterday afternoon).

Good day! please tell me 1. What ports does your application run on? 2. What engine does it have IIS or something else 3.Using telnet commands, you tried to check if the application port is listening 4. Do you have firewalls

Did you miss the part where the OP managed to solve their own problem almost a year ago? Oh, wait: I see from your previous post you're a site-driving spammer. Away with you! :mad:
