Web sharing on standalone iBook
Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2003 4:09 am
Hiya, Any assistance gratefully received...
I've got a scripted website running over a LAN from an iBook running OSX 10.3. Uses PHP and MySQL to serve data to html clients. No problems there.
However, when the laptop is unplugged from the network and the site is accessed locally, there is an error. This facility is required as the application needs to work offsite as well as on.
I'm pretty sure this is down to some mystique tcp/ip setup of which I am unsure.
When I go into network within system preferences, it shows the Built in Ethernet as being unplugged, which is true, but what difference does that make? In my experience the cable is an irrelevancy and the tcp/ip settings of the machine itself are the most important bits.
Stuff:
IP: 192.168.1.1
NM: 255.255.255.0
Anything I'm doing wrong? I kind of need to get this sorted as time is running out...
