----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete" I have a small network of Windows XP computers. Two of these computers have WAMP, one running PHP5 (on a computer called server1), and one running PHP4 (on a computer called server2).
I can run one of them from any machine in the network, by using the URL http://server1/ or http://192.168.... etc. in a browser. But server2, the second one, just times out. Both run fine by typing localhost at the relevant computer. Both can be successfully pinged, using the name or the IP. Changing the PHP4 (on the server which doesn't work) to PHP5 does not make any difference. Taking server1 (the one which works) offline does not make any difference. Can anyone think why one server is available across the network, and the other is not? -- Pete Clark ------------------------------ You didn't tell us the full IP's. It is fine to post IP's starting with 192.168.xxx.xxx as these addresses are reserved for LAN use and are not internet accessible. If one IP is 192.168.0.xxx and the other is 192.168.1.xxx or they are different in the third xxx then you may have an issue with your subnet mask. If the third (as above) is different then your subnet needs to be 255.255.0.0 If only the fourth (last) xxx is different then your subnet mask can be either 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0 Go to the machine that is not network accessible and type localhost into a browser - this should work. Then type its IP follower by the port (:80) into a browser. example - 192.168.xxx.xxx:80 Then type 192.168.xxx.xxx:80 (with the non working servers IP) from another PC. If this doesn't work from another PC then go back to the non-working server and disable the firewall and test again from the other PC. Post your results and we can tell you how to configure your firewall. Please not that other security software can interfere to so mention what security software you have on the non-working PC - like - Norton Security etc
