I had a server in a hosting company and I took it home.
I need to connect him to a local network (not wifi) and access to the server from another computer in the network via browser, like I did it when it was in the hosting company.
I don't have any knowledge in linux, I just know how to type in the command line 🙂
I thinks all the IP configuration of the server is one big mess, because it passed from more then one hosting company to another…
I tried a lot of tutorials that I found in the web, but nothing works – mainly because I don't know how to check if I did something wrong.
I just need to know how to connect to local network ( D-Link router)
and then access the server from another computer browser.
thanks
update:
the server os is: CentOS release 4.8 (Final)
Best Answer
In short, you need:
http://localhost
and seeing a web server192.168.1
or192.168.0
http://IP-Of-Server
(in the case of a web server) from the other computer.If your main problem is #1, you want to loop up how to re-enable DHCP on your machine to get an Ip address If your main problem is #2, then you may need to restart the server process If your main problem is #4, then you might have a firewall issue.
Hope that helps.
