Hello I am new to instiki and I am trying to set up a wiki up on my LAN. We don''t have a dedicated server, instead we have Workgroup environment with PC'' s and Mac''s that all communicate fine. I have set up instiki on a pc and works fine at http://localhost:2500. So this is the question. How do I access the instiki from all the other machines on the network? I have very little programming experience but understand the basics. Any help that any one has would be a great help to me. Thanks Jon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/instiki-users/attachments/20060305/bfbb0aa1/attachment.htm

Actually it''s ipconfig. Also if they use DHCP the addresses will be
renewed periodically so the address may change (although unlikely but
it can happen). If you are using DHCP you may be able to configure your
router/switch to reserve an IP address for a particular machine (using
it''s MAC address as ID) so you can guarantee it won''t change.

The computer on which you are running your wiki has an IP address. If
you run configip, you can learn that address, and unless you change
cabling etc, you probably will retain that address ... Then others can
get to your computer by
http://192.168.0.1:2500
or whatever the address is followed by the
colon 2500.

Jon, Assuming you mean a Windows workgroup environment then you should be able to simply use the name of the computer on the workgroup along with the port number as the URL. For example, if you set up Instiki on your computer named Mustang, you can access Instiki on your computer using either http://localhost:2500 <http://localhost:2500/> or http://mustang:2500 <http://mustang:2500/> . Now if you go to a co-workers computer named Charger you should be able to access Instiki on your computer by using http://mustang:2500 <http://mustang:2500/> . I have no experience with MACs so I really couldn''t say if it would work on them.
