Question Localhost Vs Actual IP?
I have a query that has been driving me nuts for the past couple of days...

Environment
I am on a Win NT machine running Apache 1.3 connected to a LAN.

To access the web server from a browser, I simply type in localhost or the loop-back IP 127.0.0.1 . No problems.

Question
But when I enter my my machine specific IP address (eg. 123.456.789.001), the browser cannot locate the server.

I should be able to do this right? I'm assuming when I can, that other people on my LAN will be able to see it as well?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Unhappy Tried that.
I tried that... But still no good...

I'm sure I've seen it done before.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Can you ping yourself?
1) 127.0.0.1
2) 192.168.0.1 or whatever you assigned
3) 123.456.789.001

If either one failed, you have misconfigured your Windows Networking in the first place.

My only suggestion is that you post your httpd.conf file, that way we can take a look at it to see if there are any problems.

Talking Under Control!
Under Control!

Everybody can stop stressing...

It was just my LAN proxy settings had to be turned off...

Bit of a bummer though, people on my LAN need to also turn off their proxy settings to access my server

Thanks for the replies anyway!

Under the PROXY setting on most browsers you can put in addresses to exclude eg *.domainname or TCPIP.

Hey eaamj01, thanks for the tip. I never thought of that. I could have used that info about a year and a half ago.
