Thanks in advance....

You could use dyndns
http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/

Or you could ask your ISP to allocate one to you.

Thanks for your reply..

I did the following settings but after that i am not able to open any site(e.g google.com) in my browser.

# wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

122.166.x.x

# ifconfig eth0 122.166.x.x

#route

Kernel IP routing table

122.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0


I am new to this please guide me so that i can make 122.166.x.x as static ip for my system.

waiting for your reply..

Thanks..

You can't allocate this IP to your machine.
If you have a router, that IP is given to te WAN site of the router.
You can use the private IP from your server, and setup NAT at he router, so all traffic to your public IP is forwarded to the server.
Dyndns will create a domainname, which will point to your public IP, even if the IP changes, it will stll point to your router.
You connect using the domainname, not the IP

Thanks repo for your reply..


Would you please tell me how to setup the NAT at the router


waiting for your reply..
Thanks!

Depends of the router you use.
Take a look at the manual, or go to

Thanks for your reply..

What happens if you connect to the external IP, from a remote computer?
122.166.x.x

Thanks repo for your reply..

As you suggest now i am accessing my server from the private ip i.e 127.0.0.1

#ping 122.169.x.x
PING 122.169.x.x (122.169.x.x) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 122.169.x.x ping statistics ---
20 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 18996ms

while i am try to connect to the 122.169.x.x it is not connect to that.



any help would be appreciated.

Thanks..

The server can't connect to the outside.

Do you have a manual or faq for the cp server ?

Thanks repo


I giving you the link in the below from where i read the document and installed the cp server in my linux system.

http://hsphere.parallels.com/docs/3....html/index.htm


please have a look on it and help me out.

Thanks..

Do you connect using port 8080 ?

Thanks repo

URL i am using to connect to my cp server is http://127.0.0.1:8080/

CP server uses ssh protocol (port 22) to communicate between server.


[root@cp ~]# ssh license.psoft.net 22
ssh: connect to host license.psoft.net port 22: Connection timed out


any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks..

Seems to me the remote server has problems.
Are you sure the address is correct?
