Help with connection issue
Posted: 29. June 2008 17:50
I cannot seem to get users from other locations to connect to me.
I put myip/login.php
but they get a time out error (include myself when i visit my own ip). how ever localhost/login.php .. works fine.
This happens on both my XP and Vista pc's. My XP pc is on a router, and i have put my ip in the "dmz" to exclude my ip from the router so that it is not being put through a firewall.
In my windows firewall apache is in exceptions list so that is ok also.
My apache logs do not show any errors related to it suggesting its not some loop in my php code which i knew it wouldn't be anyway.
Is there a windows "service" that must be turned on in order for it to work? There are a fair few turned off for performance reasons mostly, but i dont know which one may be needed to allow it work... does any one know?
