I've never used Abyss but it looks like your server is trying to comunicat on port 9999. Can you chnge in the settings to use port 80 the standard http port?

One way you can do this is with htaccess.
There is a tutorial at http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/

Password protection is on page 3, but you'll want to read the other 2 pages first.

Hope that helps!

i know now how to do it .. thx
what i need now is something very important : PASSWORD PROTECTION !!
i need a password protection to some files.. i know the best is PHP but i dont know PHP.. thats the down side .. can anyone tell me how to do it with HTML ?? like you go to INDEX.html and you have to login to get to Downloads.html ,but if there is no PP, you can just write downloads.html on the adress bar ...

There isn't a huge amount of point in making your site only accessible by IP as people will obviously have to know your IP to get to you. When someone type in your domain name, they resolve to your IP address...

The biggest reason for using a dedicated IP is when you need to install a secure certificate..

Every computer on the internet has an IP address. What you are seeing is their web hosts IP address.
