Domain Name
- Thread starter mastguy
- Start date
If you want a FQDN (Fully Qulified Domain Name) then you need to register a domain there are lots of people that sell domains, Uk2.net, UkReg.net dotster.com to name but a few.
Then once you have a domain joy just have that domain pointed at the IP address of your Linux server (it must be a internet routable address though).
If you just want to simulate it in a closed network at home with your Linux server and a windows server networked together then all you have to do is add an entry into your windows hosts file (usually c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) like this:
192.168.1.123 my.microsquash.com
Where 192.168.1.123 is your Linux IP address, then from a command prompt do c:>nbtstat -R this will flush any IP/arp cache ....
You should now be able to (from your windows PC) do: and see your webserver (if you have one running)
Good luck
Laurie.
