Web server / HOST FILE
« on: March 22, 2010, 12:25:58 PM »
I have an ongoing problem with my 615; I can't get my web-server working.

1.
Can someone explain - in detail - how I should setup the 615 to run with a web-server?

2.
My problem is that I can't access the web-server using the external domain name from within the home network, only by using 192.168.0.5. (web-servers IP address).
I have been told adding something to the host file might solve this.
Can someone please explain exactly what I should add?

Add in your HOST file

192.168.0.5 external.domain.name

So if your domain name is hallrar.com, you add

192.168.0.5 hallrar.com.

So every time you will try to open hallrar.com from the local lan browser, it will connect to 192.168.0.5.
