I am not sure I am following [Doug] here on the on the RFC 1918 address space issue. Unless a person has set up an internal DNS server resolving private address space, a person would either typically specify the private address directly, or would use a hosts file for internal usage.

Can you elaborate further please?

gifutiger said "DNS stands for "Directory Name Server" and has nothing to do with your router."

Doug simply pointed out that that is incorrect on both points. DNS stands for Domain Name System. And that the OP's issue (remember the OP?) probably has everything to do with his local home/office NAT router.

As for using local domain names on a LAN (over a non publically routed address space),,, if you need assistance with how to set this up with your router, then start a new thread and provide some specific details about your configuration.
