what address to use (absolute beginner)
Posted: 14. November 2009 02:51
Have just installed XAMPP with Apache and MySql. Both are running and passworded.
All works when I connect using localhost http://localhost/xampp/ but when I substitute my IP for localhost http://219.56.xxx.xxx/xampp/ it simply times out.
My firewall shows that it is trying to make a connection, but the IP is being modified to include my ISP name as well as the actual IP;
Browser HTTP rule FIREFOX.EXE myISPname219056xxxxxx.xxxxxx.net HTTP Outbound TCP
I'm kinda baffled by this.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can spare a moment to advise.
