I just realized something, that I have a hardware firewall in my DSL router. Could this be stopping others from getting to that IP address? I went ahead and added it to the "virtual server" in the admin area of the router, but I don't know what to put for "service port".
There is also a "DHCP Server" area and a "IP Address of DMZ Host" area. Should that IP address be added to either of those areas? (I won't have this running but for a few more minutes). -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton" Maybe I need to explain exactly what I'm trying to do here. I have been at 'odds' with my current hosts and am about to loose my temper and come to blows with them. If that happens and they 'can' me, (or if I've had enough and want to just leave immediately) I need a temporary way to host my website until I get another host. I thought this program below would do it, at least according to it's description at it's URL in the email below, it appears that is what it is supposed to do. Am I incorrect in this assumption? Or, if I AM correct, then what am I doing wrong (since no one can get to that temp IP address)? If it is possible that this program will do what I want it to, I DO have control over my domain's PRI and SEC DNS servers and can change them at anytime I choose.....so if this will work, how do I get my domain name to show in the address bar as usual instead of some IP address if EYE (emphatic I) host the site temporarily? If this is not the program for this purpose, then does anybody know of one I can use? Thanks, -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputerHardware-ConsumerElectronics.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton" For those of you not familiar with it, this is the readme file: ========== If you've ever looked around at many of the webservers out there, you've probably come to discover that most of them are far more difficult than you would think they'd have to be. You'd be right... AnalogX SimpleServer:WWW is designed to be a simple to use, yet very functional multi-threaded webserver. So how simple is it to use? Well, the length of these docs is a good indicator :) Just run the server from the Start Menu, then drag the root file you want to serve from onto the application - that's it! Now just type in 'http://localhost/' into your browser, and voila! You're serving up webpages from your own local webserver! You may also select the current file by clicking on the file browse button (which shows the currently loaded file). Once the file is selected just click the 'Start' button, and the server is up and running (it will also display it's running status in the title bar). SimpleServer:WWW supports CGI executables (like the ones offered on the AnalogX website), just simply place them in a directory named 'cgi-bin', in the same directory as the file that's selected as the base file. When the server is minimized, it sits happily down on the system tray; if you left-click on it, it will be maximized, if you right-click on it, it will bring up a quick menu to let you start/stop/exit the server. ==================== All I did was click the 'browse' button to pick a .html file, then 'ok', then 'start', then entered that ''local host" thing it says above, and I got to it. I then noticed at the top of the program was that IP address, so I am assuming (possibly erroneously) that this IS the "URL" for the page that is hosted on this PC. ? It still is showing as 'running'. FMI: What it is exactly supposed to do, is here; http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/sswww.htm Thanks, -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cannot find server is all I get Clint.
