In depth technical explanation –
BUBBA’s IP address
Note that you do not have to read this if you aren’t interested.
Simply follow the guide on the next page.
All network devices on the same LAN (your computer, BUBBA
Server, your home router) needs to have unique IP addresses.
And, for them to be able to communicate with each other, they
need to have IP addresses in the same IP series, beginning with
the same three parts. For instance, two computers with IP
addresses 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.250 are able to
communicate. Two computers with IP addresses 192.168.0.100
and 192.168.1.250 are not.
When starting up, BUBBA server checks the LAN for a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, a home router
usually contains one. If it finds one, it requests an IP address from
it. This probably means that BUBBA will receive an IP address in
the same IP series as other network devices in your LAN (if they
also are set to use DHCP to obtain IP addresses). If that’s the
case, you won’t have trouble reaching BUBBA by browsing to
http://bubba/
from your windows PC, or
http://bubba.local/
from
your MAC (for Linux, see the instructions below).
If BUBBA can’t find a DHCP server on your LAN, it takes the IP
address 192.168.0.242. This is the best guess, since home
networks often begin with 192.168.0. If the other devices on the
network do begin with 192.168.0, you won’t be in trouble either,
BUBBA will be available when browsing to
http://bubba/
(or
http://bubba.local/
from your MAC).
However, if you don’t have a DHCP server, AND have network
devices with IP addresses not beginning with 192.168.0, you have
to temporarily change the IP address of your PC, log on to BUBBA
and manually change its IP number (using BUBBA’s web interface)
to one that suits your LAN, and then change back on your PC
again.
