Apache Friends Support Forum

I have setup xampp and everything seems to be running fine. the only problem I am having is connecting to my server via a web browser. I can conncet by typing in http://localhost, but when I try to use the no-ip DNS i set up http://syndicate-inc-no.ip.info or even when I type in the IP http://70.176.55.302 this doesnt work either. I know that I can connect via the web because I used to have another server setup and I opened my ports on my router and everything worked perfectly. I am guessing I need to fix a configuration somewhere. Someone please help and explain it in the simplest way possible.

your IP number is 70.176.55.302 ???

302 is not a valid number for and IP. At least not for IPv4 (I dont know about IPv6)

and about this: http://syndicate-inc-no.ip.info
may be you wanted to type http://syndicate-inc.no-ip.info

that domain correspond to 70.177.89.203

I scanned the ports of that host and they are all filtered.
That means either your router is filtering everything or you have a firewall on your system that is filterng everything.

If you have WinXP SP2 take a look to the firewall in Control Panel.

as far as my IP goes, I just didn want to put my IP up for everyone to see, so yes you are right. I just made something up. I did try typing http://syndicate-inc.mo-ip.info and that didnt work. My browser still can find my page. I just tried and still nothing. My XP firewall is configured properly and so is my router
