Install linux on the desktop and run it without the monitor. That'll drop the power usage.


Cant say aything without know what kind of setup you got there. From what you say, I suppose you have a Single public IP setup, maybe ADSL ? and your router is NATing your PC & Laptop to access the web and its also doing a port forwarding to allow the web to access your web server ?
In such a setup if you try to access the public IP from your laptop/PC, It'll send you to the Router instead of your internal webserver. This is expected behaviour.

yeah thats the excat setup... i know that it happens if i try to access it from my lap using the public IP... but normaly i can access the web server from the other comp.. but sometimes that comp gets errors like what i've explained above.... is this expected too?? why is this??? please explain...

VMware. doesnt give that much speed in normal computer

i can keep my lap on 24/7... but ma mom doesn't like that cause the electricity bill goes too high... hehe.. but i still keep it on im running apache(im having ma own forum and stuff here! hehe.. thanks to OS..), sshd.. on it... but the thing is the lap is always busy with torrents... and when some torrent download or upload is in progress my router is ultra busy.. and slow to respond... so http requests that comes to ma web server gets dropped and stuff... i feel that the router is not capable enough! ????

hmmm... i wanna play with VMware yes... but if i emulate two machines.. it will drastically reduce my lap's performance ??? will it???

vm ware is great, butif you have a pc with some normal specs... i recommend you dont use it cuz i9ve used it in 512mb, 123vga with 2Ghz. and and it doesnt give that much speed in the VM as you think, but you get a decent speed to work!!!

Our January bill was 250 units. Dad was furious. I talked with my friends and all of them told me that the largest contribution comes from electric kettle (heater as well), fridge, iron and motor. We can't stop fridge and motor. I had to do something about the kettle and the iron. I ironed a week's clothes in one go and asked mom to stop using the kettle, just to see how it affects the bill. None of the other usages were not changed. Next month's bill had only 173 units. That saved us over Rs.2,000!!!

512MB RAM is not enough I suppose. Has anyone used VirtualBox in Linux?

Can you explain the network setup in your LAN ?
What's the DHCP and DNS servers for your Laptop and PC ?
And how have you setup port forwarding ? How have you registered your domain and its DNS entries ?

Need more info to understand what's happening at your end.

ma router have a DHCP server... but the lap is configed to use a static IP... and the lap is running a DNS server as well to speed up browsing... yes port forwarding is set... 80 is forwarded to ma lap. and the router's httpd is running on 8080 to avoid any conflicts...

the domain is registered as DDNS... in DynWeb... free service, i've registered two domain names... thats pointing to my public ip which is a dynamic one.... i've set up a little program in ma lap to sync the public ip with the one registered in dynweb...

Here's your problem. In that local DNS Server set entry to your website to point to the private IP of the webserver. Otherwise the local DNS server will always send you to the router.

But in either case, if you try to browse to the public IP from within your LAN, you'll always go to the router cause the router is considering this query as a query to the web.

something like this :

Public IP Resolve IP Resolved as router
PC-------------->Gateway(Router)------------->Router

i can access everything with my private ip, no problems with that... but i want to access the web server with the public ip to make sure that it will work when somebody else try to access it... you know... i don't want them to see my router's stuf!!!! hehe..

will anyone who is trying to access the server from the outside have a problem? will he or she be directed to my router's web server rather than my one???

outsiders will not have a problem. They'll be sent to your webserver cause the router will forward them correctly. This problem comes up only if you try to access the public IP from within the LAN.
You can check if everything appears ok on th epublic IP by using an external proxy server or by querring for your site via dnsstuff.com
