accessing console from lan

[dnaske]

Did some faqs searching but didn't find my answer. My server (X1) is working fine. My question is- How do I access the server console from another pc in my house on the network? I tryed http://127.0.0.1/9999 and other ports. I have the X1 version so I can't add another host name. Local Host on port 80 is what it says, can I change the name to use in the url?

You need to find out the IP address of the computer hosting the website. To do this go to Start, Run, type 'commmand' (no quotes), press ENTER.

Now type 'ipconfig' (no quotes again) and take down the IP Address.

Now go to another computer on the LAN and type this in plus the console port (normally 9999 by default) and it should work.

Hope this helps

dnaske,

Usually a computer has more than 1 IP address. 127.0.0.1 is the local address and is only valid locally (on the same computer).
To know what are your other IP addresses, use the command ipconfig if you are using Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 (as suggested by The Inquisitor) or winipcfgif you are on 95/98/ME.
For example if the address you get is 192.168.0.2, go to another computer on your LAN and browse http://192.168.0.2:9999 to see the console.
By browsing http://192.168.0.2 you will see the web site.
