(C: by "demo" I mean that I am going to be using it temporarily to get user feedback before I go live, mostly though I want to be able to test it and conintue to develop it. I have tried using "computername" but not "portnumber" I'll try that. I think that it may be linked to another problem I am having with my installation.
The name of my computer, as far as I can tell (my linux experience is a ripe 2 days old now), h4-4-4-4.ispname.net where 4-4-4-4 is arrived at from my ip which would be 4.4.4.4 (I have changed the actual numbers :P ) I get an error when I boot up saying that Gnome may not run properly because my ip can't be resolved properly and I should try to enter it into my etc/hosts file, which I did to no avail. I appreciate the help A LOT I am swimming in the dark here but now I'm sure that I have to resolve this problem before I get this fixed. Any ideas what would cause that error in linux?
