You need to set up IP Forwarding on the router/gateway if you want to "see" your internal server which most likely has a non-routable ip address. Do a search on this or ask your administrator to configure port 80 to forward requests to your internal server's ip address, which "must" be static.
That is how I access my local network web server from the internet. You will be typing the ip address of the [cable] router which will in turn direct the requests to your server. hth, Duane -----Original Message----- From: Derick Zhao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 6:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] how to connect to a php sever through a net work I have locally tested my server, which is on the local windows network. It works well. But when I am typing the IP address in the browser window in a remote computer, it shows it cannot locate the server. I guess this because my server don't have a separate IP address since it is connected to the internet through another host computer, which has internet access with a IP address. What should I do if I want to access the sever through a network from a remote computer on the internet?
