- <HR>
- <P>In order to access your web site you must know its address. Here are some
- suggestions for finding your sites address.</P>
- <UL>
- <LI><B>TCP/IP Loop Back Address</B> You can most likely access your site
- using the TCP/IP loop back address. This will ONLY work if your running the
- browser on the same machine that is running JWeb. The loop back address is
- 'http://127.0.0.1'. Entering this address into a browser instructs it to
- connect to a web server running on the same machine as the browser. Using this
- address is recommended for testing only. </LI></UL>
- <UL>
- <LI><B>Your Computer Name</B> Under your network properties you can specify a
- name for your computer. For example, if your computer is named 'MyComputer'. You
- could access your site using the address 'http://MyComputer'. To access network
- properties, open the network control panel. Click the identification tab and
- it should list your computer name.</LI></UL>
- <UL>
- <LI><B>WinIPCfg.EXE</B> Windows95/98 both come with a helpful utility called
- WinIPCfg. This utility will tell you what the IP address of your computer is.
- An IP address is something like 207.82.89.22. This can be entered into a
- browser in the form 'http://207.82.89.22'. When you launch WinIPCfg it will
- allow you to select which adapter you want to look at. These adapters can be
- your Dial Up Networking, Network Card, or AOL. Select which adapter your using
- and get your IP Address.</LI></UL><BR><BR><A HREF="about.html">[Back]</A></BODY></HTML>
