Hi,what puzzles me here is why you have a web server using a dynamic IP?
I have fedora core 5 installed in one of my computer in LAN. One of the
windows machine acts as the web server (internal) for the LAN but I can't
figure out how to get the web page served by that machine in my fedora.
Just
typing the hostname (http://hostname) doesn't work, I have to put the IP
address to see the page. What's wrong with DHCP setting? and how to fix
this?
why not just fix it? How did you decide on|set the hostname for that
box, or is it just doing the WINS thing and broadcasting its desired
name to the other windows hosts on the network?
if you set a fixed IP, you can use either
a) an /etc/hosts entry on all your machines ( or at least the Fedora ones)
or
b) a local DNS server
and it will still work the same way for your windows machines.
By the way all computers in my LAN have dynamic address which is handled by
DSL modem router. Other windows machine is behaving correctly, only fedora
installation is not. What do I need to do? I also checked the network
settings and found nothing to do with that as it has all automatic option
checked.
I'm not sure this behaviour is actually 'correct'
how are these other machines locating your webserver? Is this more
Windows networking voodoo? Zeroconf ?
