So you setup a server and let it use DHCP?

If you can access the console, type "ifconfig" and it will show a summary of the network connections you have. Typically, eth0 is your network card and "lo" is the local (internal only) loopback device. Look at the eth0 (or whatever) device and see what the "inet addr" is set to.

I'd recommend changing your dynamic IP (DHCP) to a static IP so you always know where to access your server remotely (from your desktop PC). The IP would need to be similar to what the DHCP server sends out but in a range where the DHCP server will not overlap. For example, if your DHCP server hands out 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, etc. addresses, use a high number such as 192.168.1.200 for your static IP.

The address you need depends on whether you are trying to access it from your LAN or from the Internet. If it's from your LAN then the 192 address should work. If it's from the internet you will need the external IP of your router and the port forwarded on the router to the server for the service you are trying to access from the internet.

Think im going to reinstall the server 10.10 and start again

So just for clarification you are trying to access your server locally from a PC on the same network as the server?
