Rickard, Without further information on your setup, I can only make a guess, = but I'd say your problem is one of two things: 1) Your ISP is blocking traffic on ports 80 (http) and 21 (ftp). = They do this to prevent customers from running web servers. If this is = the case, you can simply set Savant to serve through a different port, = say 1080. However, your visitors would then have to access your site via = www.yourdomain.com:1080. There are ways around this, such as services = offered by ZoneEdit.com, but I won't go into that here. Keep in mind that running a webserver may very well be against your = ISP's acceptable use policy, whether they have port 80 blocked or not. = You'll have to check that out yourself. 2) Are you behind a Firewall and/or Router? If so you may need to = set it to forward requests to port 80 and/or 21 to the local LAN IP of = the computer you have Savant and/or your FTP server running on. You may have both problems 1 and 2, in which case just set your = router to forward whatever ports you decide to use. By the way, the reason your computer will still respond when you = type your IP address into the address bar is because of internal = loopback. The request never actually makes it out to the web basically, = as it has no need to. I'm no expert on any of this, but hopefully this should get you = going. Good luck! =20 Arrin ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Rickard Sj=F6str=F6m=20 To: Sav...@li...=20 Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 8:31 AM Subject: [Savant-discuss] Webbserver and XP Hi!=20 I'm running Windows XP Pro and Savant! My problem is that I can't get any server (neither ftp or http) to run = properly in Win XP. This is what I have done: shut down XP's own = firewall, tested the webbserver by typing http://<my_ip> in the browser = and it works very well (also the CGI). The problem comes up when = somebody from outside is trying to access my computer! Then thier = browsers can't find my webbserver... Other servers (or softwares that = act like servers) like ICQ works very well... If you have any ideas = about what to do please tell me...=20 Thanks! Best regards Rickard |
