ChasCH Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi Guys, At home... Is it possible to set up "Instant Web Publishing" on a LAN with a DSL connection. I want to serve 1 FM7 db which is on a Mac upstairs and connect to that db on my Mac downstairs. I do not have static IPs. The Macs (both Mac OS X 10.3 +) are connected ethernet via my modem. And as there other ways to do this? Thanks in advance! Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Yes, I think it's possible. At least I can do it, with 2 machines that are both connected to the same router. I just manually give my "host" machine its own fixed IP address, such as: 192.168.0.100, then I can access IWP via: http://192.168.0.100:591/fmi/iwp/res/iwp_home.html Which is the IWP home page. I add ":591" because I also have regular web sharing turned on, which uses the default http "80". I also had to specify this in the IWP Preferences, Advanced tab (at the top). I don't really understand it completely, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Oh yeah, I also added port 591 to the ports in my System Preferences, Network, Firewall tab; if you have that on. And I added it to the router's (D-Link DI-504) Applications pane also. I don't really know whether that's necessary, but, as I said, it works.
