Thread: Webserver inaccessible

Are you on a local network? Did you give out your external IP address and foreward port 80 to your local computer.
There are a few things with this code. First of all despite the way it's define LPVOID lpParameter needn't be a pointer, you can just pass the actual socket descriptor and declare you thread function like this

Code:

DWORD WINAPI httpThreadProc(SOCKET MySocket)

of course you still need the use appropriate casting.
Next your acceptNext function dosen't return a value and it dosen't seam necercary either.

I see what you mean about acceptNext not returning anything. However, this would not solve my problem. I do not know what you mean by "external IP address" or "forward port 80 to [my] local computer." I do know that my computer is not connected to any other locally.

How do you connect to the internet? If you have a router then you likely have an internal IP and an external IP, if that is the case you will need to log into your router and foreward the port you want (80 for a webserver) to the internal IP. If your IP is in one of these ranges then you have an internal IP
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

To find your external IP go to a website like www.whatsmyip.org

I connect to the Internet through a cable modem from Charter. The IP I get from whatismyip.org is the same as what I get through ipconfig, which is 66.214.2.99.

I have tested the code on two other computers. My friend's computer had the same problem, but on a computer at my high school, another computer on the same network could access the site.
Here is the updated code. Yes, I know that the HTTP and FTP are not completely functional.
