I have two nodes setup (Broadband-hamnet) and a computer on both nodes.  On computer 2, I have UIview32's webserver running.  I can access the webserver from computer 1 running on node 1 when I directly enter the "10.xx.xx.xx address read from node 2.

What I cannot figure out is how to "advertise" the UIview Webserver on the mesh...and make it work. 

I have entered in advertised services:  UIVIEW (checked the link) http://kc4ojs-2 port 80, but the advertised service never works.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

What exactly isn't working?

Does the link not show up on the remote node mesh status page or some other issue?

The link shows up as an advertised service, but when I click on it, the browser spits back the page cannot be found.

however when I enter the 10.xx address for the computer the page appears.

??

kw

I just set up the nodes again to check for more details on what was happening..  When I click the advertised link the browser actually goes to a URL which is the name of the node attached to the computer where uiview's webserver resides.   Then on the page the following messages are displayed which have been edited to make typing faster

CONNECTION WAS RESET

SITE COULD BE TEMP BUSY.

CHECK NETWORK CONNECTION

IF A FIREWALL OR PROXY..MAKE SURE FIREFOX IS PERMITTED

Ii am obviously using Firefox.  I am also in 5 host direct

Is kc4ojs-2 the name of your node that has the ui view server connected to it or the name that's been issues a dhcp reservation?

If so and you are using the default DIRECT mode than you need to create a DHCP reservation for the PC connected to the node that has UIVIEW running on it and set the URL to use that name not the node name.

If kc4ojs-2 is the name you reserved for the windows PC that has UIVIEW on it than plug into the remote node (one without ui view on it) and try and connect to the nodes web interface by name (verifies you have dns capability working correctly ) --- make sure wifi is disabled on the computer and your only using the wired port (split connections issue)

Ah ok yep your post just before mine conforms what's going on.

on the services page reserve a name for your PC hosting UIVIEW and use THAT name in the link drop down.

The way it is being advertised currently currently your telling computers "ui view is located on the BBHN node itself" when it's not  so reserve  an IP address with a name (same page in BBHN setup)   and select that name from the drop down instead.

Success!  Thanks for the help.  What I could not figure out was how to make the mesh request go past my node that my server is physically connected too.  When you wrote to give my computer where the server is located a DHCP reservation, then the fields under URL populated with the information for my host computer.  I selected it and VOILA!  Thanks again. It is working like a charm!

Plan here is to write some custom HTML pages displaying status information for events.  Anything from where can I get a cold soft drink at field day to more serious things like EMCOMM info during an emergency, etc.

i am also detailing how you helped me solve this, with this post, so when I forget it three weeks from now, I can come back here to this page.  LOL!

i read all over the net and watched videos, but when they got to this point most just said or wrote, "I have already set up the neccessary link, so on to the next step...."

...to which I would shout....wait...wait...that is what I need.  Oh well!

thanks again for the help. 73's
