Install IPB

assuming your PC is 192.168.0.1

other people on the lan type http://192.168.0.1

or if you named you PC something like karlspc you can use the UNC path like this

I remember a previous topic saying you'll need somethign a little more powerful.. but if it's over just lan it should be alright I think

Ok HELP ME...

Sorry to be a pain guys, i ain't a n00b but when it comes to this stuff, i am...

I am installing Invision Power Board on a LAN and i am having no luck, i downloaded and installed Apache...

So then i added my IPB to the www root folder and i can find my install/index.php and i get the first form, but i HAVE NO IDEA what information i need to put in these boxes and where do i find it?

The computers network name would connect @ http://netvista OR with IP http://192.168.0.130

I haven't touched the mySQL database stuff its all set to default, everything is normal.
