Sorry reply failure (reply instead of all)!
I'm
trying to keep a client / server situation simple to set up. As the
tablet requires DHCP to function (by default) i was going to make the
server use DHCP and set up dynamic DNS so the tablet can find the server
with just the name. However as pointed out this doesn't work i.e. just
putting the 'myserver' in the address bar of the browser.
Additionally, adding the domain does not work so 'myserver.mydomain'
does not resolve to the right address.
Whoa. Now this works for me. Are you sure your DNS/DHCP servers are
configured properly?
I think they are because i can use the 'myserver' only name from any
other browser on any other machine on my network and also the
myserver.mydomain
I'm guessing this is because the
/tmp/resolv.conf.wlan0 has 'domain mydomain' as the first line and not
'search mydomain'.
Shouldn't matter.
Without the 'search mydomain' as the first line on the /etc/resolv.conf
neither 'myserver' or 'myserver.mydomain' works. With it in, both do.
Yes, hack the scripts in /etc/udhcpc/. I think the only file that is
actually used is udhcpc.script, but that's my personal guess. Add
something like
echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo search $domain >> /etc/resolv.conf
to the 'bound|renew)' part in the case statement.
Uh, I'm not responsible if fiddling with that file breaks your N770. ;)
I'll have a look, thanks for the tips.
