K...this sucks.

Alright...so here is the issue..maybe I am a total idiot..I don't know yet =P I am running windows 2k on wireless lan..behind a hub. The deal is that my friend and I were doing this together..the server was running fine...the issue came into play when we tried to look at each others...he couldn't look at mine..and I couldn't look at his....we were literally sitting here trying to figure out what we could have possibly done wrong. And ideas...any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what you guys are doing...building a web site? what? Explain...

If you're using a hub...you'll need to reference each machine by name as you probably do not have unique IP addresses...The other option here would be to assign unique, static IP addresses within your TCP/IP settings of each machine, then address each machine by IP

such as : 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2

Something like that...

Then in your browser (or however you're accessing the other machine) you'd use the IP address:

Web : http://192.168.0.1/

or via folder/shares : \\192.168.0.1

I would suggest getting a router of choice (wireless, wireless broadband router, etc...)this way you have your own internal network that provides unique IP addresses.

192.168.0.1 is wrong because its the ip of the DSL modem 192.168.1.xxx xxx = anything.

The router your using, what class is it?

class 'c' networks start @ 192.***.***.*** to 223.***.***.***

class 'b' networks start @ 128.***.***.*** to 191.***.***.***

class 'a' networks start @ 1.***.***.*** to 127.*.*.*

you notice that the end address is 127.***.***.***, this range is not used, it refers to the local machne by default.

you will need to look at your ipconfig tables and give eachother your network address prefixed with http:// then the IP address of each others machine.

if your router is using 192.168.0.1 as a gateway address, I would think that this is wron because accoring to my MCSE / CramSeccion notes, its reserved, not sure what for, DHCP possibly but generally class 'c' networks have an ip address of 192.168.1.1 with a subnet od 255.255.255.0

K. Well my local IP is a 192.xxx.x.x So I am guessing I have a class c modem. I am on a local network though and I talked to my dad about it. He said I couldn't host an ftp/server being that it was against our tos or something because it wasn't a buisness account. Didn't make much since to me why that would be. I will still continue to try on this issue hoping to get it eventually. Thanks.

ALL ISP's put something like no ftp or http servers in the TOS (Terms Of Service) which basically is total crap because they dont want to pay for the bandwidth that you legally have paid for, ISP's are merely carriers like a courier company who have rented a set amount of bandwidth and you have paid a large amount of money for a very little amount of bandwidth.

An ISP has no legal powers and cannot stop you from running servers on your PC, nor can they interfere with your cable connection, if they do, they nullify the contract and are breaking the law to which YOU have legal recourse. DONT BE FOOLED BY YOUR ISP, they are only intrested in giving you as little as possible fotr the maximum amount of money. When you have paid for bandwidth, you are within your right to use it.

Your modem will have a kbps rating, take that figure and multiply it by 60, then 60 again and then 24, this will be your maximum traffic you can achieve in one day, you have paid for that yet you will be using less than 10% of it, they make 90% out of you.

eg, 750kbps = 64800000 bits per day I can download or 23652000000 per year, I have paid for that downstream limit.

my upstream limit use to be about 400kbps = 34560000 a day or 12614400000.

what they have done is to reduce upstream to 128kbps = 11059200 or 4036608000 per year.

The short fall is 8577792000 per year, or 23500800 a day loss I am suffering because my ISP was sneaky and manipulated the network.

The result is IM £45 a year worse off.

So given that ISP do this sort of crap, they have no right to turn around to you and tell you otherwise, thay are nobodys and theirs plent of ISP who would gladly take you on with less fuss.

Simply put, do it and if the complain, hit em in the balls with the fact that you paid them for a service and bandwidth and legally your entitled to use it.

If you do want to run ftp, get a server that has a QUOTA limit, so you dont go over your limit per month as did a friend and she faced an $80 bill on top of what she alreday uses because people were hotlinking to stuff on the server.

Serv-U has quota limits but their pricing is out of this world thats why i went to other means....
