How to determine the IP address of a server

[scracker]

Hi

I finished set up my server. As I go to 127.0.0.1, I access my server. Can anybody tell me how I can determine the IP address of my server so that I can access it from a different computer ? Thanks

well, depends on the os, but if windows, then just go to the command prompt and type ipconfig. it will give you the ip address

Hi

But I use LAN, so when I go to command, and type winipconfig, on the black screen it says "192.168.0.100".

Get your ip from the router and put your computer in the dmz is what I've always heard. Maybe someone else knows better.

[scracker]

But can you please tell me how to proceed those steps that you mentioned ?

What's the router make and model?

[scracker]

My router is wireless broadband, Air Plus Extreme G DI-624

From D-Link about the DMZ.

and here is where to find your IP addy.

Your manual should help too, of course, if you get confused.

Thank you for your answer.

I got a problem like this. I just put a server on a computer this afternoon. Now, my friend wants to access the website hosted on that server. Thus, I think that I should give him the IP address of that computer (I assume it's also the IP address of the server). However, as I use LAN, everytime I try to obtain the IP address of the computer having the server on it, I obtain 192.168.0.101, mine is 192.168.0.100. Thus, Im expecting to attain something different, for instance 64.106.5.19, or something like that.

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks

I also tried whatismyip.com, the IP of the server computer detected by whatismyip.com is the IP of my laptop, which is different.

According to D-link's site, you have to access the router config menu with your admin password and go into the advanced tab. There you can enable DMZ and enter the server's LAN IP (192.168.0.101). Remember your server will be "out on the net" so make sure that it has a good firewall.

I was just looking at my settings in my router and I have the option to just forward certain ports to certain LAN ip's and to certain applications. Just a thought.

Again, I'm no expert here. I'm just throwing out ideas. Good Luck my friend!

You don't have to DMZ it, you can use Virtual Server and just forward the required ports to the local IP. D-Link has some good FAQ's on how to do this and what ports are required on their support site. Your friend needs your WAN IP to access the server.

Now I've figured out how to solve this problem. Just point the port 80 to the internal IP of the computer that has my server on.

I surprised at how easy things are sometimes.
