What I do, albeit with Dachstein, is to put an entry in the hosts files of the machines on my local network. Then, machines outside my network use the setting on dyndns.org but my internal network machines use their local hosts file instead. For example, if my domain name were stargazer.dyndns.org, and I wanted to access a web server on the machine named 'bright' at 192.168.3.55, I would put a line like this in the hosts files on the local network machines: 192.168.3.55 bright.home.net bright stargazer.dyndns.org Only Linux, the file is /etc/hosts. On Windows, I never remember where it is, so I always click on Start, then Search (or Find) and search for 'hosts'. -- Frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
