(Don't blame me for being long-winded, I'm just explaning the situation (why I want to do all these) and also to prevent people from asking questions such as "Why do you even want to host your website at home?")
I want to pay for web hosting, but, as a student, I can't. I also want to host all my Android Development on my site, apart from XDA and Samdroid. But, I can't use a credit card (obviously, my country dosen't allow ownage of CCs before 21), and free web hosts (sorry for shouting) S*CK. Slow loading, banning because of CPU-hogging/ too many cron jobs, etc, etc... Also, my parents are paranoid about their credit card details being sold online at exorbitant prices. I do understand that web hosting is expensive, and it is not really wise to allow free web hosting, and I do not want to blame them for banning me, hence I decided to host my website from home. *catches breath* I do have some prior knowledge of fixing stuff, and whipping old parts into one lean mean computing machine. I've set up the computer, and configured my router. I can view the web site (It's good'ol wordpress) when I typed my local IP into the web browser from another computer in the home network. But, when I tried to access using the public IP from my school, I cannot enter the site. I have previously configured port-forwarding. I used No-IP's dynamic DNS client in this case. When I checked my public IP using different websites, all gave me different information. One gave me an IP with 255.244.***.***, another gave me 157.209.***.***, and others gave me 255.250.***.***
1) How do I make sure that when someone types in a URL or IP, it will show me what I want them to show?
2) Why are different websites give me different public IPs? No, I don't have a firewall, or a proxy.
We need more information:
1. Who is your internet provider
2. How do you connect? ADSL/SDSL/T1/Dial up?
3. If its ADSL/SDSL then you'll have a router (unless they've given you a USB modem for it). We'll need to know what type.
4. What's your concection speed, both down and more importantly up.
Now, assuming your ISP doesn't give you web space that you could use, then you'll need the following:
You'll need a dynamic dns service, some are free.
You'll need a router which can forward http (TCP port 80) traffic from the internet to your web server.
Once the router is forwarding http traffic to the web server, people on the internet will be able to access your website.
If you want to access it using the same address then you'll have to update your hosts file on your computer.
For windows this is in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add an entry like:
dynamic dns web address IP address of webserver
So if you've set up arikyeo.dyndns.org and your webserver's internal IP address is 192.168.0.200 then you'd add the following to the hosts file:
arikyeo.dyndns.org 192.168.0.200

I used No-IP dynamic DNS service, with their client. But, it didn't work. I am using Singtel as my ISP, with a Linksys B/G router. I have forwarded the port 80 to the IP, and set port 80 as an exception. I can view the site locally, but not from the outside world.
Setup your no ip on their site as a port 80 forward. Forward this to the local port on your computer that you are using for the server. Log into your router and port forward the same port that you put in for the no ip into the from and to ports section and be sure its forwarding to your lan ip. After this is done then try it.

I see that you have already been told how best to start your server. I can also recommend instructions for collecting server statistics https://www.host-tracker.com/Blog/server_m/ This will come in handy for you in the future. Here you can configure notifications for server failures.

I am trying to run one of the many FTP servers available for Windows Mobile (vxFTPSrv or ShareIT FTP) to keep some files in sync but I can't seem to figure out what public IP address my phone has. vxFTPSrv says it is listening to a non-routable 10.**** while whatismy ip says it starts with a 200.**** while DynDNS for Windows Mobile says it is 32.****. Nevertheless, none of these work nor can I get these programs to listen to the ports. Any ideas? Does the Tilt even get a public IP address from AT&T? Thanks.
Try this
I'm no pro, but had to tell the Physical address to the the tech guy at my university so he could enable my phone o use the wireless network...
... anyways, download and install a Registry Editor (I use Task Manager v2.8) you should be able to access an Ipconfig tab, where all the information is available.
I don't know if I'm in the right track.... Hope this helps? =)

using an isp the internet sees the isp's assigned ip

Another good one I use is Iper Suite.

For casual use the first one is probably satisfactory.
IPer is worth buying for the increased functionality and has a TFTP client.

200.* would be a public IP. As would 32.*
Turn off your proxy setting in the phone and do the www.whatismyip.com thing. That will get you a more meaningfull result than anything else.
When I'm on GPRS/Edge (AT&T proxy settings in force) network I get a 66.102.186.15 IP address as reported by whatismyip.com. That resolves to alpmagr1fe06-dmz.mycingular.net. Which should be a att proxy server even tho it implies by its name its on a DMZ.
When I turn off the proxy for GPRS/Edge I get 166.195.188.15 according to whatismyip.com. That IP address will not respond to ICMP commands. So I assume it is firewalled. So it seems to me that yes you CAN and DO get a public IP address, its just that address is heavily firewalled.
You've piqued my interest, tho I cannot do anymore testing at this moment.
hey guys. i had a looky around and couldnt find any info on this.

OpenDNS is just a DNS server; it resolves DNS requests. In other words, it just translates alphanumeric URLs into IP addresses. If your IRC server is blocking your T-Mobile gateway server then changing your DNS server is not going to make a difference.
You might try setting up your IRC client on a linux box on an unblocked network (e.g. at home, work or school) and use ConnectBot to ssh into it.
"Torrent Buddy is a client application which run on windows phone and communicate with your uTorrent client/webserver running on your PC. This is pretty handy to look at the status of your torrents and control them as needed. What’s unique about Torrent Buddy compared to other apps on market place is that it lets you add new torrents from any website and RSS feeds. Not only that, it also allows you to add torrent from sites which require authentication by adding your own cookie information."
The Trial version will support everything except adding new torrents
you can get it from the market place.
I am nothing to do with this app It just taken me ages to get it set up so thought I would help in case anyone else needed it
OK so I thought I would write up a little tutorial on how to set this app up, as the only info i could find was on this site(the creates of the app)
OK so I found the easiest way of doing this guys was like this (my pc is connected via wifi)
1.give yourself a static ip=
start>control panel>network connections>right click you’re wireless connection>properties>
2.on the General Tab there is a box you can scroll down to, got to Internet protocol(TCP/IP)click on it and click properties
3.use the following IP Address example
IP. = 192.168.1.3
subnet = 255.255.255.0
Deafult gateway = (mine was) 192.168.1.1
DNS server (mine was) 192.168.1.1
click ok to save then ok
4. log in to you’re router(mine is Netgear so 192.168.1.1)
5.go to port forwarding
6.create new port forward
Service Name = Torrent Buddy
Service Type = TCP/UDP
Starting Port = chose a port
Ending Port = chose a port
Server IP Address (you’re static address)
save and log out you’re router
7.uTorrent setup – In uTorrent, go to options->Preferences->Web UI, Select “Enable Web UI” check mark. Enter a username and password and keep not of the connectivity port. This is what you will need to connect from torrent buddy (Select the check box and enter the port you chose for port forwarding).
Go to http://portforward.com/ and it will show you you’re IP.
fire up torrent buddy and open connections menu
9.Friendly name = whatever you want
Server name = http://yourIP:the port you chose
username = the same you chose for the settings in Utorrent
Password = as above
save
10.click the connection you created and press the tick box if you did everything ok then it should go back to the main screen and connect and then you can watch you’re torrents.
Hope this helps
请问一下具体怎么设置？ 为什么我的总是提示登陆失败？ 有图片教程？

I would like to use the xoom to view web pages on my companies intranet site when I am connected to the internal wifi. When I connect to a web page with the browser, I am promted for my login details. No matter how I try and put them in, I seem to be unable to connect. I have tried specifying my user name:
user
[email protected]
domain\user
When using a laptop not joined to the domain, I can use [email protected] or domain\user.
Does anyone know how I can connect to these secured sites? Is there another browser I should use or is this some kerberos/android incompatibility?
For me I just have to use my company email address
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
id try out firefox if your are still having problems
we have a staff intranet, and I can log in using my normal username and password. must be the way you guys have it configured. sorry not much use, but just +1 for "works for me".

I have the same issue, I would like to log into my sharepoint site but I get a user/pass/domain auth challenge that no matter what I enter comes back incorrect.
I designed and installed and currently maintain the global network for my company, and I can tell you, we've had success with our Android OS users authenticating.
If the default authentication (domain\user) doesn't work, try using the FQDN of your domain (may not be a .com). If you work for XYZ Corp, you may have e-mail address [email protected], but your authentication may be [email protected]
You can check your domain info (provided your Exchange admin hasn't removed it) on your GAL contact card. Open Exchange (webmail or Outlook client) and open your contact card (search the GAL for yourself). Look under the "E-mail addresses" section). If you see something other than a global TLD (.com, .net, ...), you may want to try it. Alternatively, from a domain machine, type ipconfig /all and check what your DNS suffix is. That should get you rolling.
Worst case, check w/your IT department and see if you work with jerks or cool people Review access logs with them from your intranet site and see what username your device is sending. If you'd like, I can provide a simple Windows-based authentication site for you all to test, I will post and review logs with you.
Let me know if you want me to, I'll set up a website.
The stock browser doesnt support anything but basic authentication apparantly
Use firefox and it works
Firefox does seem to work, but the default browser is way better for all other things... oh well.
Someone found the backgrounds here: https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/home
So here's an idea, setup local DNS to route that domain to a local machine running an HTTP server, then put up your own page. The idea is to have your own backgrounds. Any idea if this would work?

That sounds like it would work. I don't know much about all that stuff, but it sounds like it's possible..
oh, and btw..when you right click and Inspect Element...you can see that it's just a javascripted page that cycles images from
<https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/background1.jpg> ---thru--- <https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/background11.jpg>
I believe this could work, however the only option that Im aware of is to redirect the entire clients3.google.com domain to a local IP via local DNS. However, I dont think anyone knows what else is being hosted by clients3.google.com, so while this may work for your backgrounds, it could cause issues with other Chromecast or Google functions....
If anyone is aware of alternate method to redirect a specific web application on a LAN, then let me know and Ill set this up ASAP and report back.

I think it could be accomplished by mucking with DNS and then setting up a forwarding proxy server and web server. On the web server host all of those 11 backgrounds. On the proxy server have it fetch first from that web server and if it failed forward to the real DNS address for that server.
They're all at https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/ so you would think it shouldn't be too hard.
Is there any new information on the topic? I just want to load my own web-page (with google calendar and other useful information) on the chromecast in sleep mode... any experience?
