[CalendarServer-users] Lost newbie: Can't access via IP address although localhost works

[Steven Chan]

Hi, folks,

Newbie warning:  you may need to speak slooowly to be understood, as  
my UNIX skills are still nascent... ;-)

I've installed Calendar Server from today's trunk on Leopard desktop  
client 10.5.1 (not OS X Server).  It compiled fine and runs without  
errors. I haven't altered the default caldavd-dev.plist.  My Leopard  
client is connected to a D-Link 624 via DHCP, where it's been given an  
IP of 192.168.0.102.

What works:
--------------
I can connect to it via iCal 3.0.1 (1205) using admin/admin against http://localhost:8008 
.  I've been able to create a couple of new CalDAV calendars using my  
local iCal client and the admin/admin account.

I can also connect via Firefox 2.x against http://localhost:8008 and https://localhost:8443 
.

So far so good.  Substituting 127.0.0.1 for in both test cases work as  
expected, too.

What doesn't work:
----------------------
My local network IP address is 192.168.0.102.

I cannot access the Calendar Server via http://192.168.0.102:8008.  I  
can ping this address using Network Utility running locally as well as  
from other Macs.

This fails locally in Firefox with the following error:  "Firefox  
can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.102:8008."

This fails locally in iCal with the following error:  "Account  
information not found.  Connection to the server 192.168.0.102 was  
refused."

Can anyone shed some light on why requests to localhost work but  
requests to my explicit IP fail?

Regards,
Steven
