Thanks so much for the very useful and precise answer. I understood, however, what I meant with public IP was not 0.0.0.0, I mean public IP assigned to my machine. I don't want to every time check it to see what it is because it is dynamic and I want to be able to use web2py's ability to read it. I want it always select this IP (192.168.1.000 for example) and start the server. Thanks so much my problem with password is solved. by the way, my ultimate goal from this is to be able to access the web2py app from two machines connected through my router. I think this needs some modification in the widget, don't you think so?
