Acessing Server from another location

[Bob Norris]

What Addy would you use to acess your server from another location (Like a pc at work or something) Would it be something like this? : http://000.0.0.1:1024/ Using your IP and the port at the end?? (this one is 1024)

I access my server with remote desktop software. Just redirect the port through the router and allow it through my firewall software. That way I can not only access the web server console but everything else on all the drives.

Just the way I prefer to access it.

you simply use the IP address that is issued to your modem with the console port address on the end.

eg, if you connect to http://127.0.0.1:9999/ on your PC and your IP address was for example 231.132.213.123 you would use http://231.132.213.123:9999/ from your work machine and login.

It is that simple, no messing around with remote anywhere, do it directly.

I just use net-meeting. It comes with XP and I think 2k as well. If you use a router or firewall I believe the port is 3398 if I remember. My web server is in the back room and being lazy, I just just remote to it from my gaming PC or from work.

Just click on start, run and type conf, ok and set it up. From what I remember you also have to enable remote from control panel, system.

Hope that helps.

Just remember to route whatever console port your using if your machine is on a LAN and networked through a router...

Please note, you can usually access your router in the same manner if your setup is allowd by remote access, you will have to consult your router instructions inorder to do this.

The main reason I remote is so I have a minimum of open ports on my router and firewall. Just the way I prefer to do it.

So you would rather run another app that requires an open port to view any way, so whats the difference?

If your accessing over a LAN you wont need to open any port to access the server console.

My point being you dont have to run another server on your system, running more servers on your system in the long run poses more of a security risk than using the already existing console port which can be accessed remotely through an opened port, you then close the remote whats port so you still have the minimum of ports open still.
