WEBSITE ADDRESS: IP
I've noticed a few websites (an example listed below) that have IP's for the address... How do I host my website on my computer and make it accessible by an IP address like that? What software do I need and do you have some sites I can look at with tutorials or something?
Thanks..
Example: http://208.16.234.92

You need to make sure your IP doesnot change often.. If it changes you need to get Static IP from your ISP so that everyone can access the same IP all the time .. Once you setup your webserver , you can put html files in there and people using the IP address assigned to you to access your website

I've installed IIS on Windows XP Pro.. I configured it I guess... And I understand where to put the files and stuff but my IP is 192.168.1.102 (assigned for the site) and when I go to it, it requires authentication that I have no idea what it is.
How do I make it so it doesnt display the authorize prompt? If I go to it by http://computer_name -- it works.

DO you have a router ? in that case your IP would be that .. You need to do port forwarding in your router so that if user check out that IP address , your IIS server can serve the files

you need to assign the system running iis a static address, such as 192.168.1.10, and enter your isp's dns server information... and on your router, you need to forward port 80 to that system's static ip... port forwarding wont work if your client systems use dhcp, and when you use a static ip, the client will not get dns information from the router -- so both a static ip and dns must be entered on the system running iis.
the address you'll give out will be your ip address you get from your isp, not the private net 192.168.xxx.xxx number. go to www.whatsmyip.org to find out what it is. if you have a "regular" account with your isp, chances are it (your ip address) will change each time you connect to the net. it would be best to get a static ip address from your isp, most cable and dsl providers charge extra per month for one.... if not an option, there are a variety of online services out there that can forward web requests to your machine. www.tzo.com is one such place (not free, but they are inexpensive and have a bunch of service options).
as far as authorization goes - make sure your default web site and files are accessible to public internet users, not just authenticated users of the computer iis is running on...

hi, the router configuration says DHCP is enabled. So now what?
You could also have your site hosted, and just find out the IP address the server is using.
In a DOS prompt, type "nslookup www.someurl.com" without the quotes.

Hi
Hwn you run IIS
Basicly you have already have your site on air,
if you want to make it work. with your coputer name, well it will work just type:
http:\\YourComputerName
or
http:\\Localhost
HowEvere people around the net will access your site through ip,
to know your ip, you have to go to command line
and type:
ipconfig /all
remmember everytime you connect to the net, you get a defferent ip, no metter if you gave your NetCard an other ip,
simply, when you connect to the net u use PPP protoco not tcp/ip.
So....stop reading and show your site to the world!!!:)
Have fun

>> My IP is 192.168.1.102 <<
AHH! I just... wanted to mention that I thought it very strange that MY IP address is actually 192.168.1.2 (and it used it to be .100; I changed it).
Would you happen to live near here and/or have the same ISP or something?
I know this really has nothing to do with the question; sorry.

phillllllllll,
The 192.162.x.x block is reserved for internal network IP addresses. Go to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ to get your real IP address.

Sorry, that should read 192.168.x.x
Suuuuure it is.
Yes, it's your external IP. If you don't believe me, go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ for a second opinion.

You basically should have a web server running in your machine.. Web server depends on what OS you have..
If you have windows operating system , you can have IIS or PWS.. If you have other OS you can have web servers that would work in that OS
Thanks,
