I found that the easiest way of doing this is to edit your "desktop" machine's hosts file (/etc/hosts) and add an entry for the LAN IP address of the server associating it with the name... for example, I have: 192.168.1.100 www.thymox.co.uk thymox.dyndns.org webserver This way, when I'm at my desktop machine I can access my webserver by either www.thymox.co.uk, thymox.dyndns.org or webserver. I have thymox.dyndns.org associated with my ADSL's IP address, so if anyone else (from the "outside world") tries to access that name, it points to me and my router forwards their HTTP request to my webserver. I have www.thymox.co.uk as a framed forwarder page to thymox.dyndns.org. Although I can access my server by IP address alone, using WordPress makes things a little squiffy if you're not connecting to it with the "url" that it's expecting. Have a shot. And good luck. :) Grant. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
