Accessing TM4C129 LaunchPad Web Server remotely

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA

Hi

I have a web server running on TM4C129 LaunchPad. How can I access it remotely. We followed 'EthernetWebServer' example at Energia and also below example. But it sets up the IP that is dependent on your router and not accessible remotely. E.g. running the server at office and accessing it from home?

energia.nu/.../

Is there any other example for remote access?

  • I'm not an energia user or expert and I don' think this is directly related to energia, but I would assume you would need to modify the router such that the firewall didn't block access to your network. I also think using only the IP address and not the MAC address will limit access. To broaden the scope of the "server" project would take some additional research and effort to make it accessible by all over the internet I presume given the IP address only identifies the webserver within the localized network. Perhaps the Energia support community might offer more support or even a solution given it is open source. Their support community is located here: forum.43oh.com/.../
  • @lilyhack im going to add a little bit to Chuck Davenports response. Unfortunatly, the way the Internet is set up what you are trying to do wont work. Routers and subnetworks all use what is called NAT to create networks behind what is essentially a firewall. What you want is to assign your webserver a public IP that is not behind the NAT. In order to do this you either need to convince your IT office to do this for you. Or pay your ISP more money to get another Public IP depending on where you are.
