Accessing webpage and webserver from within network

[ajgiampa]

I am new to Abyss web server and have 2 quick questions.

I am running the server software on a PC in my home network and cannot access the server console from other PC's in my network. I set the accessible range of IP addresses and use the format 127.0.0.1:9999, which works from the server PC itself but not from any other PC in my network. Any idea what I might be missing? It would really be convenient to manage the software from another pc in my network.

The website loads great from any computer outside of my network, but when I try to go to my website from a PC within my network, I get my router login page. The only way to access to website from within my network is to type the ip address of the server PC in internet explorer. Is there a way to have the server load my page when I type the web address from within my network?

Thanks for any info!!

127.0.0.1 is the computers local IP. Only the computer the server is hosted on can use this address to access it.

To access it inside your local network either use the WAN IP or the LAN IP of the server computer, which will be in the form 192.168.x.x or similar.

You can also access the console http://server:9999 is "server" is the name of the server computer on your LAN. (My Computer -> Properties -> Computer Name tab)
