Re: How to set up a (public) XMage server
Posted: 05 Dec 2017, 20:56
This tripped me up too. The address that has to be added to your hosts file is your internal IP. I picked up a dynamic dns address to point to my external address. then specifically pointed it to my internal address on the hosts file.Rondrond wrote:Hello, my problem is like avaleth. I set up everything and i can connect from my computer with client and server running at the same time. Either with 127.0.0.1 & hosts/dns-name. but my brother from outside cannot connect(server might be offline). So now I have some questions, i the hopes of resolving my problem. 1. Do I need this hosts entry for anything else but me being able to connect with my dns-name instead of "localhost"? 2. is the entry "127.0.0.1 dns-name" sufficient/correct? 3. why do i need to specify the dns name in the config file?
besz regards. thanks for any help in advance.
