Access the Content Manager Open Labs 2.1 over the network

Question

Hello,

I want to ask how to access the Open Labs secure storage over the network.

On the local PC it is possible to reach it with the following destinations.

ftp://127.0.0.1/

http://localhost/

I already set up the authorization/authentication.

How to reach it from a PC within our Network ?

Regards

White

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.
