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.
Sorry i've just retested this and adding that line doesn't help. I'm now not sure what i did to get it working. I was trying too many things and wasn't taking enough notice of what i was trying.
