Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Re: ip address binding

    Isn't that a function of DNS?
    you are basically binding the domain name to your ip address. Need to make sure it is a dedicated ip though since the other can change.

    You can designate a bunch of doman names to one ip address as well.

    I do hosting and don't know everything, but I have my own name server records for domain name servers so my clients have it easy if using their own domain names. The ns is bound to my server via ip addresses.

    I have never done this with a windows server, so others may know better.

    When I did have a windows server of my own, I just pointed my domain name to the ip address.

        i don't think that is possible, the port needs to specified separately at the least as far as i know.
        however if you name the computer to eduduru, and it is in the network where everyone is connected,
        then you can do
        http://eduduru:8081/Tapemanager.a5w

        edit:
        i looked up on the net and came across this
        https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=11156
        i have not done anything like this so i won't know how to play with that.
        edit2: i was wrong i think. in mac you can do it in network settings.

          Re: ip address binding

          Chinedu,

          I really do not do windows servers, so not real sure how it works for a windows server at all. I also do not use my own servers in house since I found it cheaper and less time consuming to use hosted.

          That being said:
          DNS has to be set up and then it could take as long as 72 hours for it to propagate. My last one took about 30 hours.
          Once it has propagated, I assigned my domain name and other domain names(clients ) to that dns. It then took most about 2 hours to get there.
          The dns is(in my case) attached to my dedicated IP address. I also have other ip addresses which are used just fine.

          If you click http://www.nhcla.com that is a client's site, it will show like you want. The site is on my server and the domain name is registered with yahoo.com
          the domain name is pointed at ns1.afs-host.com and ns2.afs-host.com. There is no settings needed for the ip address in yahoo.

          The client also has 2 other domains I added to the add-ons that also point at my domain name servers

          May help
          http://gopalthorve.com/install-and-c...s-server-2008/
          and search google --- domain name server for windows server

            Re: ip address binding

            To run two or more computers in same domain like server.com/... you need to have reverse proxy as a front server. Then you need to separate servers for example like server.com/a/....
            So like Gandhi told your original example will not work because you are already running other server in port 80.

              LOL,

              While you guys are messing around with the complexities of windows servers, I will be trucking along happily with my hosted Linux servers that don't need all these extras to run.

              I have a few servers that overlay on Linux like PHP, apache, and that is about all.

                The problem is same with all platforms. The domain does not know what platform you are running.

                  The dns has to be set to go to the proper place no matter where it is. How it is handled when it gets there could be handled better with windows servers in my humble opinion.

                  They are servers to me and not platforms, but just words. We both know what we mean.

                  With a paid server , it is generally handled for you. Life is more simple.

                  I think Doron Farber runs his own server(s) and has crossed all those bridges and could be a big help.

                    dave,
                    with all due respect to you, i think you are not making correct statement. regardless what platform you run the servers listen to port they are configured to in their configuration files.
                    http service is listened to in port 80 in the configuration files (then you do not need port number in the url) unless somebody else took that ahead, then you change the configuration for your server to some other port which needs to be in the url to tell where to listen to.
                    the example he gave with 192 address is local network address with a suffix for port number. it is quite possible that he wants to set up a private network with the look and feel of public network. it can be done many of the small businesses do, you can do with split-horizon. it is hard work. but the bottom line is it can be done. but the port number will always need to be specified regardless, if different from 80 for http service.
                    unless of course i have totally misunderstood the conversation.
                    incidentally, i too run my own server.
                    like tom hagen says "i work with only one client."
                    thanks for reading

                      You point DNS to IP. In server you point IP to ethernet card. Many different IP's can point to same ethernet card. In OS you bind your server to IP . IP can have many ports.

                      So nothing mystery here. Everyone can handle this.

                        Govindan,

                        either or both of us could be mistaken about what he is trying to do

                        I run a Linux system
                        web domain is pointed to dns which is my own. Once it gets to my dns, the domain name is sorted to go where needed and set up.
                        If a sub folder has an app in it then the domain name needs a "/" and folder name.

                        Pretty simple and no need for IIS and stuff.
