apache help!

Hi Thanks

The ip address may be different everytime the host pc is switched on .
would like to find a way without fixing the ips of the pc so i know what it would be everytime
but would still alow me to view the pages on the intranet

thanks

hope this makes sense.

Hello!

Ip-addresses are usually dynamic, but you probably can buy the solid address from your operator. I'm not sure how often and how IP changes. I have from time to time kept my computer on for a long time and IP has not changed that time (couple of weeks). If you are for example creating a public web-application to your own www-server, you need a solid address.

Hi Thanks

i would just like to use this apache as an internal server to host some php i have create for a database but would like all pc,s to acsses this information just need a solid way for other isers to view the pages but not the outside world

thanks in advance

So you have local-area network. I think one solution is NAT.

Every computer in your LAN has it's own IP which has nothing to do with public IP-addresses.

Hi Thanks

I have sorted my problam out thanks

but one more thing please is there a way that i can assign an internaly routed ip address into an name

just like you would on the internet .


so in my intanet if for example someone types http://somename. this will then point to 192.168.0.13 (virtual ip)

thanks in advance.

Hi!

For that I think you need your own DNS server. I don't know if there are any free of charge. I'm not so familiar with this DNS-matter. I don't have such own. If you don't get any wiser advise, try with Google. If you find a good solution, tell me too! :)

Hope there have been any help from these!
