Hello all,

I have two PCs win2k Advanced Server and XPPro.

I can ping each PC from the other and they are in a LAN
with a DSL router. Each PC can also ping the router. The
router has a static IP address for its WAN interface
(216.49.74.183) and LAN is 192.168.1.1

The server has IP address 192.168.1.22

The XP PRo has IP address 192.168.1.101

The DNS on the server and the XP are pointing to the
Server IP address. 192.168.1.22

The router is pointing to the DNS addresses of the DSL ISP.

After struggling with the system for about 2 weeks, I was
able to ping from each machine.

I have built a website with Apache, PHP, Mysql and a
weblog on my win2k.

I can see the site locally on the win2k. But when I try
browsing the same site from the XP, I get a site with
broken links. At the minimum I expected to see the site
just like the win2k shows it. The same result is what I
get when I try to access the same site from the internet.

Is there something that may be impeding this site from
showing anywhere other than the server?

What can I check for?

Thanks in advance.

If your getting the website that is on the server to come part way up from
the internet and the WinXP then it seems that you are making a connection
and are getting some html from the server to the client browsers. This would
indicate that TCP/IP routing and DNS resolution is working fine. If you can
access the web site properly on the localhost (the server) then the web
application with its busisness logic and data access must be OK. This leaves
the anonymous user account that accesses the web appliction over the
network. If this was Microsoft IIS it would be the IUSER account. You have
to make sure that the account that you use has the proper NTFS permissions.
