Ineed someone who is familar with running his website on his PC?
Hi, winxp sp3, im running my norm windows on C (as normal) and my website on E drive.Ive got XAMPP as the server but for some reason today and yesterday it wont go on the net, i had ESET Smart Security but ive disabled that. Is there a program that tell what is wrong, or what port it was using. OR does anybody no what could be wrong ? It been on there for four years with varios problems but this has got me stumped. I can get on there anytime logged or unlogged but users find they are blocked, ooh im running phpbb3.

If your machine is the same as the unit serving the pages then you could have a firewall blocking your ports. If you have a router between the computer and the outside line then you need to set port forwarding. I have set up my own site with XAMPP for the record and find it very useful.
