 |
|
Hi I was wondering if some one could help with a couple of questions.
I have installed Abyss on a PC in the loft.
when I try to access it from my pc I get a log on window when I go to 127.0.0.1 when I enter the password it is rejected. I can log on in the loft on at the server.
I can ping 127..... but not the IP address I set on the servers network set up.
I installed Aybss on the d parttion of my server pc leaving win 98 on C granting share access to all. Any ideas please is this a network prob or server prob ?
Many thanks

As in you're trying to access your server from 127.0.0.1 from a machine other than it?
127.0.0.1 is like a mirror, in that it sends you straight to whatever computer you're using. Use it's actual address instead.
