It depends on what the clients support... If they support mDNS, then installing something like avahi-daemon on the server will make it broadcast it's presence via mDNS, and (assuming that clients understand mDNS) it can then be reach as "servername.local" (where "servername" is your host name). -- Hope this helps

I've to install bind/dnsmasq to automatically resolve IP of apache or can I use clients's host file? What's the easy/fast way to resolve IP of this server? thanks Pol can I use clients's host file? Why not? Its fastest way and it works even when dns sv is down. As long as dhcp is not in use...with hosts file, the server must have static IP address, which is likely with a small network such as OP describes. -- 73's Mike, WB5VQX
