(maybe not a programming question but related)
if im on a local network is there a url that i can type that will allow all users on the local network to view a local hosted website? there is one feature called put online but i would need to be connected to the internet. can it be done another way?
ps: i know this question is off subject but i get fast responses here. and its somehow related :)
thanks
You could use your local network IP address to address your machine. But you have to configure your webserver to deliver the right content without a specific host name.
You can use either your local IP or your hostname on the network.
For the hostname to work, your network needs a DNS server that updates itself from DHCP, or has a static entry for your computer, or all the systems need to have NetBEUI running. If you can type "ping " in a command prompt/console window, and it shows it pinging your network IP, then it works.
