Intermittant connectivity over LAN with XAMPP
Posted: 31. May 2012 13:20
I have XAMPP installed on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04, and wish to be able to access it over LAN only. I can find the IP address of the Ubuntu computer, but when I enter it into a browser on another machine, I only manage to connect about once a minute. I have to keep pressing 'refresh' until my page loads.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. It obviously is working, as I do get the pages eventually, it just seems to be very random as to when I get them. Also it's not a load time issue, it actually fails to connect according to Firefox.
Accessing the pages on the computer itself with localhost is absolutely fine.
In addition, can I ask if others on the Internet can access the XAMPP pages? I only use it for private use of MediaWiki so don't really want it accessible on the internet. Thankyou
