Trying to figure out what I might be doing wrong. I installed XAMPP - and everything looks fine. If I go to localhost everything comes right up. But when I go to my IP address, I just get a message that the browser could not connect to it. I go into my router and set up port forwarding for port 80 etc, and I even tried putting the server as a DMZ - still nothing. I turned the firewall off to see if that was interfering in some way, then uninstalled it completely for good measure, made no difference. I'm out of ideas.. oh, and yes I have a static IP address.

Is this for while you are on your home network, outside of it or both?– user142485Sep 7, 2012 at 21:46

I can't access it from inside or outside the network by IP– ExpectoSep 7, 2012 at 21:47

Can you access it via the public ip from an address NOT on your network (ie, the library, local Starbucks, a friend's house, etc)? If the answer is yes, then you need to enable something called NAT reflection (which not all routers name the same thing, nor do all routers allow to toggle it).– MaQleodSep 7, 2012 at 22:16

when you say "when I go to my IP address", is this your servers ip, your gateway ip address or your public ip address? And what happens to all?– LogmanSep 7, 2012 at 22:17

Can you tell us what operating system you're on?– Stefan SeidelSep 17, 2012 at 14:36
