DNS for LAN
alright, i use tinydns whenever possible so i know alittle about it. my goal is to make it so that when someone on my lan types "stats" into there browser it directs them to http://192.168.1.5/stats (my cs apache server). I have a linksys router that acts as a dhcp server and it has settings to change the default dns server that is given out to the computers. is this achieved throught a local dns cache server? i've triedn setting up tinydns and adding the following to /service/tinydns/root/data
.stats:192.168.1.5
+stats:192.168.1.5

then i pointed on of the computers dns settings to this computer, restarted, typed stats in the browser and no go.

Any suggestions or more info needed?

Can you ping stats?

Setting up an internal dns server just for this seems like alot of work, what about using thehosts file?

hosts file sits on each on computer and resolves names to ip addresses.

On windows machines normally found in windows directory do a search for hosts.

The hosts file is normally used for smaller networks though, as keeping up with each machine can be pain.

cannot access the server thru name
Hi,

I am new to this forum and do not know if I can ask this question here. Apologies if I am not following the rules, but I have a problem similar to this.

I have entered the url of the internal machines in the hosts file, like

192.168.x.x delta #this is the delta server
192.168.y.x gamma #this is the gamma server.

However when I type the url, URL, I am redirected to the buy domians site.

I am not using a proxy.

Thanks in advance

Indian 2k

trying ping
So if you ping delta what does it return?

Can you ping the actual ip addresses?

What happens if you http://delta when not connect to the internet?

the easiest way to get your answer is asking for him to paste the results of "ping delta". The moment we see that we know if it's a resolution error or something else.
