| 840421 | 2009-12-17 02:35:00 | So where do you get the 118.93.181.204 ip from? You still need to give a bit more info about your environment, as it is still making zero sense at the moment. |

| 840422 | 2009-12-17 02:36:00 | I went onto whatsmyip.org on the server, and it gave that IP address. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 840423 | 2009-12-17 02:39:00 | Then whatsmyip.org is wrong! Your servers external address will be 125.236.191.36, the same as your routers external address, if that is the gateway it is using to connect to the world. PS: "Today we lost power at my school. Everyone was silent in the darkness until my friend laughed maniacally and shouted "At last the tables have turned!" He is blind. How did he know? :) |

| 840424 | 2009-12-17 02:55:00 | whatsmyip will be telling you are public internet IP address not your local private LAN IP address. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 840425 | 2009-12-17 06:02:00 | If you want to connect to your (presumably web) server from inside your LAN you will need to use it's LOCAL ip or name. If you want to connect to it from outside you will need the external ip of your router (or a dyndns domain pointing there) and a port 80 forward to the servers internal ip and your routers web control panel disabled on the external interface so port 80 is actually available to be forwarded. |
