Enabling personal web sharing on a Mac while behind a router limits access to local devices, making external sharing difficult. To connect with users outside the local network, it's essential to disable router encryption and MAC filtering. To find the public IP address, users can visit websites like whatsmyip.com, as local IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.x.x) are not accessible externally. Additionally, accessing the router's settings at its local IP (e.g., 192.168.0.1) allows for configuration of network security and port settings. Clearer questions may help in receiving more targeted assistance.

I enabled personal web sharing on my mac, but I'm behind a router and so I can only share with other computers behind my routers. That doesn't help very much, or I would just put on network sharing! I'm having trouble figuring out how to use an IP that is, uh, the real one, instead of a http://192.168.x.x local IP. Can somebody help me? :frown:

Thank you! :smile:

Ok so i don't know very much about macs, but I can help you with networking. From what I understand, you want to have other people, outside of your network to be able to connect to your mac? If so then make sure there is no encryption on your router and no mac filtering and everything should be good. I can't really understand what you're trying to get at but I think I answered correctly. Now for that IP thingy, on Windows you can find it by opening up command prompt and typing ipconfig /all, but for macs, i would just say go to h**p://whatsmyip.com and find it out there. The h**p://192.168.0.1 is the address of your router where you can edit settings such as ports open/closed, if your network is encrypted (secure), MAC filtering, etc. Please respond with a more clear question.
 
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
