server noob could use some knowledge
Just now, hornetwotop said:It's not actually a python server, that's just the quickest example of a web server I could give to illustrate the underlying issue of access.
Yeah the issue that I need this up before those people come back. They're not IT though, they are engineers. We have no access to network settings and are just given the group policy settings passed down by IT. I'm trying to exhaust all of my options before resorting to IT because they are all interns at a local university on work study so... their help is sort of limited by their expertise which is nil lol.
If you can access that test web server (python) from a different computer at the same campus, and can ping it from another campus but not access the test server, then there are a couple things to check for. You'll either need port forwarding, which would be something you'd set in the router at your campus, or your campus' firewall is blocking that connection, which of course you'll need access to that firewall's configuration for.
