A work mate said today there must be some way of accessing the consol from a remote computer and got me thinking. If this was possible then it would become really handy. If anyone knows any ways it is possible or things to try then please do tell me.

Configure Abyss to allow access to the console from a remote IP.
Type http://yourserverip:9999 on the other PC.
Finito.

Sorry, I only said configure because it is already covered in the documentation for Abyss.

Quote:

To restrict or grant access to the console to an IP address or an IP address range, go to the Console Configuration dialog and select IP Address Control.

By default, only computers on your LAN are allowed to access the console. To enable all the computer (whether local, on the LAN or from the internet) to browse the console, follow these instructions:
* Open the console
* Select "Console Configuration"
* Select "IP Address Control"
* In the "Allowed IP addresses", press "Add"
* Enter * and press "OK".
* Press "OK".

* is a joker which means "any IP address". From now on, any machine that can reach your computer can browse your console. If you are behind a router, you may need to configure the router to forward connections from the Internet on port 9999 to your computer on port 9999.

If antihacking is enabled, it will also monitor the console and protect it from people trying to guess passwords or do brute force attacks (by launching a dictionnary based password cracking tool.)

max_carpenter,

This may be caused by the fact that antihacking is off or because your mate was using a computer which IP address is the in "Do not Monitor Requests from" table.

Can you please send to support@aprelium.com your abyss.conf file and tell us what is the IP of his computer. Please send us also the persist.data file.
