|
|
I have a network setup between 2 PC's, Each of them has their own IP on the network. Mine is something like 127.0.0.1 And the other is something like 127.0.0.2. But when i run the Abyss server, my URL is http://127.0.0.1/ Which does not work, because when people try to access it it A) isnt my real ip its my network IP and B) My real IP is dynamic, how can i set abyss up to work with my dynamic IP and not my network IP?

You have to use a service that will allow you to update your IP whenever it changes.
This way, you can have an always up-to-date IP mapped to your server and you will register a domail like
http://something.else.123

I do not believe 127.0.0.1 is a network address. I believe it is a loopback address. Any PC which looks to that address I believe will look to itself only.
Your network addresses should be something like 192.168.*.* or 10.*.*.*
Go here and find out your address: http://www.aprelium.com/ip/
Go to http://www.dyndns.org to get a static address for your dynamic IP if you have one.
Good luck :) _________________ Victor B. Gonzalez

u shouldn't give the IP as 127.0.0.1. it's a special IP for loopback, point back to local machine.
use 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x
plenty of them
