Hi. I have a webserver running using apache. Anyone connected to my network can get to it by typing the machines ip address.... How do I make it where anything they type into the address bar of their browser will automaticly redirect to that machines http server?

plunkett,
You need to set up your DNS server to map the hostname to the server's IP address. What are you using for DNS?

To have "anything" in the URL bar bring up your server page, I think you could configure your browser to use your web server as a proxy. I don't know if this would work, but it's something I'd try.
Or, you can have your firewall intercept all port 80 requests and forward them to your server in a similar manner.
