ESP8266 Community Forum

- Tue Oct 07, 2014 5:31 am #1364 Hi,

can it be that the ESP8266 only works as server when it is configured as AP and i connect to it by wifi?
And further, that it always runs on 192.168.4.1 in that case?
I tried to connect to the server as the modul was connected to my local accesspoint, but it does not react.

regards

AT+CIPMUX=1
AT+CIPSERVER=1,"PORT"
even when your esp module is connected to an ap.

- Tue Oct 07, 2014 1:04 pm #1383 I think i still don't understand correctly how it works.
Is it correct that i can only access the ESP8266 server when i am connected to it as a wifi-client?

For some reason i can only reach the ESP8266 server when i am connected to it as wifi client and i have to use the fixed server address 192.168.4.1.

What i need is the ESP8266 running as server, connected to my local AP. Then i want to access the server from my LAN side.

Hope the module is capable of doing so!?

UPDATE:
ok, it seams as if it only works in CWMODE=1, not 3!
Thought it would work in both modes but it doesn't.
