cannot access my http://localhost remotely

[bhing]

hiya everyone..

i have php 5 and mysql 5 installed on my server...

when i access http://locahost in my local server it goes well...

but when i tried to access it using its ip (http://<ip>)
the message is no route to host unable to retrieve....

Are you behind a router? If so, the IP actually belongs to the Router and you probably can't access your PC through it directly. You'd have to activate Port forwarding for Port 80, I guess. Google that for your Router if you don't know how to do so.

If you aren't behind a router, where did you get your IP from? Your PC will have at least 2 IPs: An IP in the local network (normally something starting with 127 or 192 will be local) and one for the internet. A website like http://www.whatismyip.com/ will tell you that adress. (Or that of the Router, if you're behind one).

If none of that helped, ask again!

You're Computer will have a different ip on the intranet than on the internet. Therefore, you won't have success when trying to load the page from your intranet address when using the internet.

It would be easier to help you, if you'd answer all questions I asked (or at least more of them - especially things like infos about the router, where you got the ip from etc.).

yes we are behind a router.. our ip starts w/ 61.9.x.x

what should i do? i guess the port 80 is already open.. is it really the ip matter why i cant access the http remotely?
