running os x as a server disconnected from lan

hello,

i have php apache and mysql working fine on my os x.1.2 laptop. however, that is only when it is connected to my lan. when i unplug it, i cant access http at all. i am wondering if there is a way so that i can access all of my files (which are on my laptop) via http so that i can do mysql queries with php and apache. everything is set up on this machine not on a separate server.

I just want to do this so i can have a working database application to show my clients without having to plug into a network.

thanks in advance,
kevin
 
That's wierd. Try typing http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost. But it might have something to do with your IP address. In your network control panel make sure it says Show: Built in ethernet, then select Configure: manually, then set your IP to something like 192.135.188.31 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. in your browser when you type http://192.135.188.31 it should come up.
