Yes, that works fine, > 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 http://192.168.1.101:80 times out >PC.

I can type in http://server2 or http://192.168.1.101:80 and the home page comes up. However, obviously this is far too risky to allow. So I switched it back on. I checked the Firewall - Exceptions tab, and Apache HTTP server (and some others such as AVGxxxx, the virus checker) are checked. I would have thought that this would allow the web page to appear. > >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 Security software is simply Windows Firewall and AVG anti-virus. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://www.hotcosta.com/comm_1.htm
