Re: XP has stopped serving outside localhost

Whoops, sent direct not to the group. For the benefit of the group...

from outside, no. from inside, I can do it localhost, but can't connect from
another machine using my local IP.

I do need it to work with all 3.

Can outside telnet public ip 80? Can you telnet the port 80 internally?

Hi,

I am running XP, SP2 on my dell notebook (inspiron 6000).

I have been happily allowing external connections into my notebook for a
while. I am a web developer and work from home. The clients occassionaly
come to see the progress of their sites.

I am also working with a designer, and he was able to connect to my
laptop just after midnight today. Since then, ALL external connections
have just stopped. I have rebooted a number of times. I have disabled the
firewall (windows firewall). In fact, I have tried a number of things and
I just cannot understand what is going on.

Also, I cannot connect to my notebook from any other computer on my
network, using the internal IP.

I am connected via wifi and have tried changing my IP, but the router
keeps giving me the same IP. I am now also connected by wire with another
IP. I cannot connect from another PC on my network by either IP address.
I have rebooted my modem and my wifi router. I have also swapped out my
router.

I have now eliminated IP address problem, ISP, network (as I can connect
to another web server on my network, using my external IP)


This morning, I did try to install filezilla to set up an FTP server for
my designer to connect to. It was after this that I found my serving has
stopped (It is not just web server but ftp, sql, mysql etc. that have all
stopped). I have since uninstalled it.

I can connect to everything fine as localhost, just not via my external
IP address or dynamic dns name. (the dynamic dns works fine to other
machines on my network)


Any ideas on what else I can try. I have spent most of the day so far
working on this and starting to pull my hair out. :-(
