Mac Forum / General / General / May 2008accessing an internal web application on windows machine through a home network
Hello, I need to run a web application residing on a windows xp box from my MacBook OS X. All this on a wireless network I am able to connect to the windows shared folder through Mac's Finder's Network folder and can browse and open files on the Windows shared folder. I however cannot run the app by typing in the url in the FF browser as follows: http://MyWindowsCompterName.MyWindowsNetworkName/WebsiteFolder/Default.html I am new to Mac, so any leads will be of great help. Thanks in advance. AMG In article <75b04234-a2f8-4d13-80db-5fb350f7b1a7@l64g2000hse.googlegroups.com>, > Hello, I need to run a web application residing on a windows xp box > from my MacBook OS X.

Like I said, I can connect to the shared folder on XP box, bit don't know how to access the web application.

This doesn't have much to do with Macs, but more to do with networking standards. You need to access the web server through TCP/IP. If you're not running DNS on your network, with a static IP address and associated host name for this web server, you'll have to use the current IP address of the web server in the URL, like so: http://IPAddress/path/to/pages...
