Accessing DesktopServer Dev Site Remotely

[Dwight M]

Hi all,

Newbie question…just getting started with DesktopServer…what a product.

Is it possible to access a dev site running on DesktopServer from another device on the LAN? I am attempting to but am getting a blank screen in the browser when I enter the local IP address of the device on which DesktopServer is running. I had hoped to either get access to the main Development Websites page or be able to qualify the URL with a /<dev_site_name> to go directly to the dev site. In either case, I get a blank screen but the regular ServerPress icon shows up in the Chrome tab so I suspect it’s trying to resolve to a page. I’ve turned off the firewall on the DesktopServer device to no effect. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Dwight
