Hi Eamon, A workaround -- which works if your public IP also has a hostname -- is to use that hostname instead of the public IP, when not from home; then, in your /etc/hosts file (or wherever Windows keeps the equivalent file these days) you add an entry like this:
127.0.0.1 insert-public-hostname-here What this does is: it overwrites your machine's default use of DNS when looking up that particular hostname, and instead always goes to localhost for it. And then you configure the blog absolute URL: http://insert-public-hostname-here/ If you don't have a hostname and don't want to buy an entire domain for your public IP, ask someone to lend you a subdomain. That's free and easy. But normally your ISP should assign you a hostname too, with that public IP. alxx On May 24, 2007, at 5:51 AM, Eamon Ford wrote: > Hi all, > I'm running Typo 4.1.1 on my own server, but because of my modem > (Actiontec is really bad), I have to access my blog using the private > IP address of the server if I'm behind the modem, and my public IP > address from anywhere else.
