Hi Ben, Oh, I do love this one :>) I searched for an easy answer for a long time and everyone gave me help which was both convoluted and difficult to implement.
> When I choose the www.sitewhatever.com.au address (not the internal > 192.168.x.x) it goes to the ADSL modem. That's from internal. > Many places in websites these days running CMS or Blogging software > point the site back to the www.sitewhatever.com.au in its links rather > than localhost or 192.168.x.x. > Try this on one line, in your /etc/hosts file put - 192.local.server.address www.sitewhatever.com.au It should just work when you enter www.sitewhatever.com.au in your browser. I run a small hosting site with virtual name hosting and I enter each site against the IP address of the server. It gets me the right site without hitting the router login (as you have experienced) and damned quick too. Wish the web was like that in real life :>) Rick -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
