[DM-MUG] web sharing on my compuster

[Jeremy Geerdes]

10.0.1.6 is the private IP of your computer. You should be able to see it from computers inside your network. If this is not the case, you may have a couple of issues going on. I would start by checking that the subnet masks on all computers match. To get to the site from outside your network, you are, as you suspected, going to need to know the PUBLIC IP of your Airport, but there is actually one other step: you need to set up port forwarding on the Airport so that traffic on port 80 is routed to your computer. You should be able to get the Airport's public IP from the Internet section of it's configuration in Airport Utility.

> I have a web site in the "sites" folder on my computer. When I turn browser sharing on in Sharing it tells me to use 10.0.1.6/~rbowler2/  to allow others on the network to access the web site. It works fine if I use that address on my computer but the other two computers on the network cannot find it and neither can a computer at anther location.  I am accessing the internet through my Airport Extreme in a Time Capsule. I think I would need the router address to get this to work over the internet but don't know how to find it or put it into the URL for others to use. Any ideas?
