Hi, I'm a newbie to this stuff, I just installed Abyss and not sure how to link to my computer to see a webpage. I have 2 computers which are both connected to a router and when I try to check out the wepage on the computer I installed abyss on by just using the IP as a link it works but when I test it to see if I can get to the page with the other computer it doesnt work :'(
hope someone can make sense of this, would really appreciate any help |

If you are using localhost (http://127.0.0.1) it will only work on the computer that you installed Abyss to. You will need to know the LAN IP address for both computers to be able to do this.
If you want to set up a website for the whole internet, you need to enable port forwarding for the computer with the server on it.
