Guardian-Mage Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have apache all setup and what not, it works fine on my machine if I enter localhost, but how can I access it say, from my neighbour's computer?

trq Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 You either need a static IP address, or use a service such as http://dyndns.org. You then need to make sure your router is configured to forward port 80 through to your machine and your firewall also allows it.

Guardian-Mage Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 thanks, could you go onto http://192.168.2.136/NLT/ and see if it works. If so please let me know Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67663-solved-connecting-to-apache-remotely/#findComment-339896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Am I mistaken but aren't 192.168.2.x address for internal networks only? If you want someone to access you from the internet (outside of your network) you will want user your computers IP address and not your networks ip.

trq Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 As stated, 192.168.*.* addresses are not public but used within LANs. You need your public ip address.

Guardian-Mage Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Yes, I see that now. When I try to type my IP address in( 142.68.171.196 Also Dynamic) It requests a password. I am with Aliant using their Aliant Home Networking Gateway.

Guardian-Mage Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Ok, I set up an account with those DynDNS people and I have my domain(guardian-mage.homeftp.net) but when I enter my password it just goes into my modems settings page instead of forwarding to my server. What gives? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67663-solved-connecting-to-apache-remotely/#findComment-340024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Its working fine from here. You won't be able to access your server via that domain from within your network unless you edit your hosts file. In Linux its /etc/hosts, I'm not sure where it is on windows but you should be able to do a search for it. Then simply add.... # Your local (LAN) ip. # Your domain. 192.168.2.136 guardian-mage.homeftp.net Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67663-solved-connecting-to-apache-remotely/#findComment-340058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
