[DM-MUG] web sharing on my compuster

[Ray Bowler]

James, 

Thanks. Yes, I have web sharing on. As Jeremy suggested I opened port 80 and he pointed out that  the address 10.0.1.6  is my local network one and the other computers have to go through the Airport router. This is not as simple as the help box describes it. I have the external address (I think this is right) for the modem, the router and the network address for the router and my computer. Then MediaCom may block port 80 so that I cannot host a site. I imagine that the network address would be 10.0.1.1/10.0.1.6/~rbowler2/. The external address might be 173.31.31.128.1/10.0.1.1/10.0.1.6/~rbowler2/. I may try that later. For now I'll just use DropBox to pass it on to someone else for testing. 

Ray B.

>> 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?
