Me again
I followed the instructions in the link
Set up an IP Port of 99. This stops my email system from working.
I'm having a problem now getting back into the Run Basic Development Environment. When I Launch into Browser it takes me direct into an app.
Grateful for some assistance

Try http://localhost:99/seaside/go/runbasicpersonal?app=login to login to RB. If you are using no-ip for your DNS, I found that leaving RB on port 8008, there is no need to specify the port in your url. eg. yoursite.hopto.org takes the user to your home page, (assuming you have set up a home page in RB prefs.) My server is on port 8008 and my url is http://******.hopto.org (without :8008)

Set up an IP Port of 99. This stops my email system from working. To check if a port is used run the following command while running any application. Netsh diag connect iphost localhost {portnumber}To check if the default installation of RBP is running - you start the RBP console
- run Netsh diag connect iphost localhost 8008 from a command prompt
Low port numbers are mostly used by different applications, you can check this in the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services

My server is on port 8008 and my url is karemi.hopto.org (without :8008) You probably have some setting in your router to direct incomming request on port 80 to be directed to your runbasic server on port 8008. I think a normal URL without a specified port is directed to port 80 by default by the brouser.

Thanks, yes If I understand correctly, I forgot I set up port forwarding to 8008!

Me again. I'm back into the development environment now.Thanks When you specify no- ip do you mean that I have to set up my domain with www.no-ip.com or can I use somebody else. How do I point my PC at my Domain which I already have with someone else. I'm not a Windows expert so please be patient.

no-ip (and others) provide a IP monitoring service for users who have a dynamicaly allocated IP address. When your ISP allocated IP address changes, software on your PC informs the no-ip servers so they know how to route your url. In other words, no-ip track your changing IP address. That means you usually have a no-ip url. As for pointing your existing domain to your IP address, I'm not sure. Do you need to redirect the domain to a no-ip domain? If you have a fixed IP address then none of this is necessary of course. Most of us though have a dynamic IP address.
Maybe someone else can chip in here if this does not help.

How do I point my PC at my Domain which I already have with someone else. If you have a site hosted on some else's server, and you want that domain to go to your personal server you will need to contact whoever you registered with. It is just a matter of changing the DNS info. If you have a dynamic IP, then all that Mike said too. The DNS's just need to know how to route traffic. Does that help or am I guessing the question wrong?

Hi I've downloaded the Software from WWW.No-ip.com for the dynamic dns. My next problem is that I need to Port Forward. I've tried WWW.portforward.com but they don't cater for the router manufacturer I have. Do you know of anyone else that has Port Forwarding Software. The Router I have is a Realtek RTL8139/810x Thanks

The Router I have is a Realtek RTL8139/810x That looks like a chipset number or an ethercard. You should be able to config your router from your PC. The router address should be something like 192.168.2.1 Check the manual for exact, could be different. Once there you are there look for "virtual server" "or something like that. Netgear, linksys, Belkin,etc are popular brands for routers. I bet you have one of those with a Realtek chipset.

What about the following scenario - most ISPs give you free domain/web space. Set up index.htm to redirect to to your dynamic IP address. Upload a new index.htm when your IP address changes, could be set up for automatic update like no-ip does. No need for no-ip then. Would that work? I will try it within the next few days. If you know it won't work then please say and save me the time. EDIT: No it won't work will it, it will just keep redirecting to the same index.htm (I think)

It should work. <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8008">
I have been playing with the beta on a couple of different machines with the lead in page on another to direct to what ever machine or version I am testing. I think the trickie part would be in making the change automatic. Monitor IP on change update meta tag in index.html FTP file to remote server.

No it doesn't work unfortunately, just keeps redirecting back to the allocated IP address which is of course linked to the URL allocated by the ISP. Back to the drawing board.
