hello, I followed the instrucctions on this website (The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 11.1 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials) to make a webserver from my PC, I’m able to access from my lan as 192.168.x.x:xxxx; but when i put the www part it dosn’t show my website, (Something.). I have DHCP and I want to stay with it, not Static IP, I was able to do it on Windows with a program, but now I wanna do the same thing in Linux.
My question is: is there a way to automaticly get my pc IP and change it to my dns (Something.). So everytime anyone puts Something. it will go to my website stored on my PC.
Ok, not I can access to my net ip (192.168.x.x) from another computer in the same network, but there is no internet access on the server PC and when I type the IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from my router i get “no page found”…
what am i doing wrong?
You need to associate Something. with your external IP address (not your internal one) by registering with a dynamic DNS registrar. And you need to create the port forward I explained in your other thread.
That solves it for external users, but for internal you need to add Something. to your internal DNS server. Since this may be your router, this could be tricky or impossible, depending on the router model.
Right. Another less convenient way would be to define the externaln DNS name with it’s local IP in /etc/hosts on your local clients if you don’t have a local DNS.
