 Topic: Accessing My Computer Via LAN ?!?
Posted: 15 August 2004 at 6:00pm |
hello,
when i have direct net connection (dial up or direct cable) i can use my ip address to host some stuff directly from my computer, but i cannot access my computer if i am connected to the net via LAN. because it shows just one IP address all over the network, like my friends IP And my IP (to external sites) is the same ?!?
So if i type in that IP, it connects to our main server, and not my computer, is it possible to connect to my computer via lan ??
may be something like 63.214.81.30:124 ?!?
where 63.214.81.124 might be the server'z ip and 124 could be mine, but still i dont see it working, dose any one know how can this be done ?!?

Taking all the question you have, you should maybe get a book on DNS routing and TCP. Computers within a network should never have the same IP address, you may all have the same gateway (external address), then you would need to configure your router to forward to the right IP>

In your IP address you specified a port - 124. Ports from 0-1023 are reserved. O'Reilleys "DNS and Bind" is kind of the Godfather of DNS info. I'ts oriented towards Unix, but covers windows as well for the DNS parts.

I don't think he knew it was a port.. think he thought it got routed to .124

But start with figuring out what
http://127.0.0.1/
is. That's the best starting point.

when you type in a network's ip address the router is normally set up to forward to a default machine or not at all (for security reasons). This is why VPN and Remote Access were created. VPN and RAS make you a "virtual" machine on the network, allowing you to access network resources.

I route incoming traffic for specific ports on the firewall to a DMZ box. The DMZ then routes to specifc machines on my network depending upon what the traffic is or what it contains - e.g. HTTP traffic to port 80 is scanned for domain - traffic for domain X goes to Machine A, Domain Y goes to Machine B, etc. The DMZ runs BSD.
