Running Dolphin from Home server
Hi all-
After I have gotten Dolphin up and running, I've only got one question...
If you are hosting it yourself- what is the easyiest way to access the server from home. Right now I am using DynDns, while I am waiting for my static IP to be set up, but when I try to connect to my domain from LAN(where the server is as well) I get a loopback connection- that means page wont open.
I can imagine the same will happen with a static IP- even though AT&T where i purchased my static IP ensured me it won't happen, I did some research online- and it is very likely that this will happen again.
It is quite important, since installing widgets in admin area, gives me a javascript void() when I access it through proxy server. I can imagine there is a lot of more things I can't do with Dolphin- through a proxy server, so if there is any way to solve this prob. without paying for 2 connections it would be great....
I know I can go to the hosts file in windows32- and add the ip with domain name to "trick" the browser to open from LAN... but will that solve the prob.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.

points to remember
you might have the super dee duper fastest 24MBit cable speed, but your upstream is still less than 800Kbps not even 1MBit
a standard 586Kbps broadband connection was enough to run 2-3 pc's at home on the internet at the same time, untill all 3 pc's started to download music or video files and then it was hopeless and slow.
what you are trying to do, and if you have a 24MBit connection, is use the 800Kbps see more
12 Megabit which is what the providers go by upsteam is a buttload for a home network.
It is 12288 kilobits/1536 kilobytes/1.5 megabytes per second
8Mbit or megabit I'm guessing again is
8192 kilobits/1024 kilobytes/1 megabytes per second
My dsl 3megbit connection download / 768k upload
should be 384 kilobytes per second download
and 96 kilobytes per second upload.
Actual is more like 350 kilobytes down and 90 kilobytes up.
