Hi

I have a webserver on my adsl at home with a fixed IP address...

I have been wanting to access my external address
(http://mccutchanadsl.actrix.co.nz) from inside the LAN... all the time I
keep getting prompted for username/password.. I read this morning about the
hosts file and that if add entrys this is possible...

my host file consists of

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.10 server
192.168.1.10 mccutchanadsl.actrix.co.nz
192.168.1.254 m1122

Now if I type in my browser

http://mccutchanadsl.actrix.co.nz from inside my LAN it works... YAY!!!

 Thanks everyone!
