Problems with intranet webserver

[stephangrobler]

We are running a always on connection through a hub and everyone can access each other and can access the internet. My problem is setting up a webserver on one of the machines to use the clock in clock out system that iwrote for the work. Just the people on the lan must be able to access it.

Sorry to sound newbie, but i kinda am. All the machines uses the dynamic adresses that is assigned to it via the router. 10.0.0.1 and up.

How many machines are there, are you running internal DNS/WINS?

3 XP Machines,
1 Win2000 Machine,
1 98SE Machine,
1 Macintosh OSX,
4 Macintosh OS9.
No internal DNS/WINS that i know of. I do have IIS 5 setup with MySQL & PHP and it works if i go http://localhost/clock/index.php

Thanks for the quick response

perhaps you should set the hosting machine to a static IP and use that IP on the other machines to access the webapp... might work

Thats a horrible looking network to have to deal with

However, highly recommend giving the web server a static IP

What is the problem, specifically ? Is it that you are getting different addresses everytime ? You want to setup a DNS ? Is your machine accesible at all. I am kinda slow, so bear with me, what is the problem exactly ?

Quick question:
Does the telkom adsl router give every machine the same ip address? example 10.0.0.3

PS:I tried giving the host a static IP but then it cannot access the internet.

doubt it strongly

tried setting the gateway to the router's IP?

the router automatically assign it's ip as the default ip for the machines

hu? I assume you mean the router assignes its IP as the default gateway?
But that only happens if the PCs are setup to use DHCP IIRC, which won't be the case if you assign a static IP to the webserver-host, so you might need to manually assign the router's IP as the webserver-host's gateway.

yea, other than the ip , you need to set the gateway and the dns, just goto one of the dhcp machine and see what their values are, then go put those in your web server, and put your web server on some ip that won't be in your dhcp ragne, like 10.10.1.101
