Access the Content Manager Open Labs 2.1 over the network

Hi Mr. White,

You just need to know the real IP address of that PC. Open your CMD prompt and do 'IPConfig'. Once you know the real IP - you should be able to access it from other computers by using the same URL construction:

http://123.123.123.123/

Replacing 123 with your real IP address.

If you are unable to access that page from another computer on the network - that PC's firewall may be blocking outside connections. But the OpenLAB installer will (by default) open a port in the firewall to allow web access.

If you want to get a bit fancier - you can use that PC's hostname instead of the IP address.

Hello hexatriene,

Thank you very much. It worked. From the local PC I can access it via http and ftp.

It even work with the hostname

But I couldn't reach it from a different PC.( Maybe cause we are not in the same Network/server )

Pinging didn't work either.

I ask my IT department for further instructions.

Actually I feel saver that it didn't work.

Thanks again

Regards

White
