Sorry to write twice. Typically your routers IP address is your entire networks external IP address. http://www.whatismyip.com/ will tell you.
I’m sure you’re aware of networking, but the router handles all requests and pools them into a DB. It then determines which request goes to which machine. Assuming your router does not have immense security, it should always be able to find the service assuming that your IP address is bound to your external IP. If your server is running in a DMZ than the situation might be a little different. Been a while since I’ve had to do networking. -Jake From: David Takle Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 3:13 PM To: openmeetings-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Sending IP Address in Emails Dimitri, Your comment raises a lot of questions for me. First, are you using a laptop/desktop for your server? If so, how did you get a domain name for it? Second, using 'ipconfig' on my XP, I got a 192.168.x.x address that worked fine from my 2nd computer. Was that only because it is on the same side of the modem? Would that address not work for the rest of the world to use? Thanks! ~David On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 3:04 PM, Dimitri Yioulos <dyiou...@onpointfc.com> wrote: I've found that you need to log into OM with the FQDN of your OM server (e.g. http://openmeetings.mydomain.tld:5080/openmeetings). At first, I was using the internal address of the OM server, so my invitees were instructed to go to the meeting at http://192.168.x.x<meeting_id>. Clearly, that didn't work. Others may know of another way to accomplish what you're after.
