Localhost and home networkI have three computers set up on a home network , on computer 1 I have
set up a web site on localhost for development which I can view using http:/localhost. How can I access this site from my other pc's. I have tried using http:/localhost but the page can not be found. Is there not just a simple address that I can enter in my browser to take me to computer 1's localhost On 3 Aug 2006 12:48:16 -0700, "Stevie" <steven***@btinternet.com> wrote: Stevie,>I have three computers set up on a home network , on computer 1 I have >set up a web site on localhost for development which I can view using >http:/localhost. >How can I access this site from my other pc's. I have tried using >http:/localhost but the page can not be found. Is there not just a >simple address that I can enter in my browser to take me to computer >1's localhost The alias "localhost", on any computer, points to IP address 127.0.0.1, which is an address local on each computer. If you want to refer to another computer, you refer to that computer by its network name, or its public IP address. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/local-name-and-address-resolution-on.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/local-name-and-address-resolution-on.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Apache, but your name resolution. How did you fix the 403? What was causing the 403? -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Thanks for your reply and I feel you my me correct when you say it might not be down Apache as I have another slight porblem which has been bugging me since I set up my network and may have something to do with the local host prob but have never solved the problem which is PC 1 can browse the other 2 Pc's (ie my network places/view workgroup computers) but when I try to do this on PC 2 or 3 to browse PC 1 I get "\\Office is not acessible. You might not have permission bla bla bla. Access is denied" but I can map a drive to a shared location on PC 1 and access the data that way. As far as I can see I have all 3 pc's set up the same way but there must be something different with pc 1 which I don't know about. Any thoughts on this would be great. Stevie

There are several other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this article with an open mind. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html Look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Firstly I would like to say that your site is a gold mine of great information and I now understand a lot more things (watch out Bill G. I'm after your job ..... if only lol). Just to refresh you on the my problem as it has been a few days and I'm quite sure your a very busy man. 3 computers A, B, C. (All running XP Home SP2) A can browse B and C B can browse C and vice versa But B and C cannot browse A B and C can map network drives on A I run browstat status, ipconfig /all, net config server and net config workstation on all machines and compared them. The only difference I could find was on computer A the Node type returned by ipconfig was Unknowen, where as on B and C it was Mixed. One other thing I have noticed if on B or C, I try to map a drive or add a network place to \\A\localhost a dialog appears "Connecting to A", and asks for a password, the user name section is disabled. I tried all the passwords I normally use with no success. Do you think this has anything to do with my problem and if so how do I go about correcting it. Sorry in advance if your site contains this info Stevie

You might not have permission bla bla bla. Access is denied" but I can map a drive to a shared location on PC 1 and access the data that way." You have a browser problem, plus "access denied". This is likely either a personal firewall or other security component problem, or LSP / Winsock corruption. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
