Viewing the web page on another laptop

[CornishJim]

Hi Jasper

I have recently downloaded your software and i must say it works exactly how i wanted it too, great work!

I have what is probably a very stupid question with a probably very simple answer!! I have the .Bat file running and can see the web page on 127.0.0.1:8100 but i'd like to be able to view it on another laptop on the network, i have tried entering -P 192.168.1.208 8200 but no luck. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong as this is my first time playing with .bat files!!!

Below is my .bat (running on a pc with rtl sdr v3) if that's any help?

AIS-catcher -v 10 -u 127.0.0.1 10110 -N 8100 PLUGIN_DIR plugins -N STATION Boscastle -N LAT 50.68977 LON -4.70427 SHARE_LOC on -P 5.9.207.224 11293 -P 192.168.1.208 8200
PAUSE

Any help would be appreciated. thanks and keep up the good work!

Hello,

Viewing the Web page on the laptop running the software and another laptop on the same network should not make a difference for AIS-catcher.

AIS-catcher -v 10 -u 127.0.0.1 10110 -N 8100 PLUGIN_DIR plugins -N STATION Boscastle -N LAT 50.68977 LON -4.70427 SHARE_LOC on
PAUSE

On the laptop running AIS-catcher you can then go to:

http://127.0.0.1:8100 

This seems to be running. If you want to access it from another machine on the same network you need to find out the IP address of the PC running AIS-catcher. For example, in a Windows Shell you can type ipconfig and then the IP address is in the list:

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:
...
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.239
...

You can also find this via Settings -> Network/Internet and then looking at the properties of the WiFi connection. Anyway, in my case it is 192.168.1.239. On the PC running AIS-catcher and this second PC on the network you can access the web page on the address:

http://192.168.1.239:8100

So no changes are needed on the AIS-catcher command line to share it on your local network.

Does this help?

ps if this does not work, it might be that the port is blocked by a firewall, but don't suspect so

Ahhh I see where I was going wrong now! Thanks very much! Great additions with the new version by the way!
