In most cases in typical home networks, all you need to do is configure the firewall(s) on the computer acting as a web server. On May 20, 2012 12:47 PM, Andrew Grosset rushg...@yahoo.com wrote: I have Railo, mysql etc running on my laptop which I access using the url: http://127.0.0.1:

You can't access the address 127.0.0.1 from ANY other machine. that is the reserved LOCALHOST or home address of every networked device. You need to configure another IP address such as something in the 192.168.nnn.nnn or 10.0.0.nnn range. Your router will tell you what IP address range you

BTW, you won't be able to use the exact same URL as what you provided. You'll want to set a static IP (or DHCP reservation) for the web server and use that IP for the URL. On May 20, 2012 12:50 PM, Jason Durham jqdur...@gmail.com wrote: In most cases in typical home networks, all you need to do

Andrew, 127.0.0.1 is a special address also known as localhost and refers only to the computer you are currently using, in other words it is the computers internal address for itself. so if you use 127.0.0.1 or localhost from any other computer , it also will just be looking at itself. If you

You cannot use the 127 ip. That is only for the localhost (your laptop). You have to you a 192 ip. Access your router admin screen. It will tell you what base ip is: ie: 192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x... will vary depending on your router. I think d-link uses 192.168.0.x while Linksys uses

So I know it's been discussed before, so a link to the relevant past article will suffice... But I am in need of moving my webpages to a new server and was wondering where I can find some cheap ($20 or under) web hosting that will allow me to host 3 or more websites with Coldfusion (and Fusebox).

I have had good luck at Viviotech.net. I don't know that Vivio specifically offers a Fusebox option, but they offer Adobe ColdFusion, Railo, and BSD options. I have hosted two VPSs there since last year. They are proactively helpful and I bet they could come up with a solution for you on a

Coolcool. I looked at their website though and it looks like they start at 35 bucks a month. Right now, I can't afford that much (unless anyone here has any work they can pass my way). On Sun, May 20, 2012 at 9:03 PM, Matt Quackenbush quackfu...@gmail.com wrote: + infinity for Viviotech.
