trq Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 What part are you stuck on? Ive been running servers from home for a long time, its pretty straight forward. You might want to take a look at a service like dyndns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I have XAMMP installed but im unsure how to get it so my friends can see it.(ill check that now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Im not sure of your setup, but if you have a router, make sure port 80 is being forwarded to your computer. Then all you need do is give your friends your ip, or use a service such as the one in the link I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I got it. For those who wants to know join at dyndns.org Then go to start->Control Panel->NetWorkConnects click on your connection icon once and it will pop up some information on the side. it will show your IP then copy IP down and you have an online Server. Thanks Thorp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 That will show your LAN ip, not WAN. read the instructions at dyndns, you will more than likely need to install there client software on your machine if you have a dynamic ip.

trq Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 If that is how youv'e optained your ip then it is most likely not your public ip. As Ive said, follow the instructions on dyndns.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joder Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 new problem My Friends can't see it cansomeone tell me how to unblock the Firewall? Go to http://whatismyip.com This will give you your public IP address. Then http://(ipaddress from above) If you can't see it, what error are you getting? There could be an apache setup issue, your firewall may be blocking it, or your ISP may block port 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 I get this: The connection has timed out The server at 70.230.165.143 is taking too long to respond. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

neylitalo Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Your IP address is owned by SBC Internet Services, which is also my ISP. By default, the firewall in the router provided by SBC blocks incoming port 80. You'll have to go into the firewall settings, select the computer you want to host the webserver on, and enable port forwarding on port 80. On my router, you go through a list of services and pick Web Server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
