Running a Web Server on a LAN

[Lucas Young]

Hi
I just bought and setup an XH1169 Router (with a 5 port switch) for our LAN
and it's working fine, except for the issue mentioned on the DSE support
page - one of our networked PCs runs a Web Server (IIS) so we can test
client websites locally.
Is there a way to configure the XH1169 to browse that web server from within
the network?

cheers

Firstly, this isn't an ADSL issue, and I exepct to see the usual flamers
on the list pointing this out

However, in the interests of being helpful, have you tried just pointing
your browser at the IP address of the machine running IIS ?

ie, if the machine is using 192.168.0.1, then point the browser at
http://192.168.0.1/

if you need to have DNS work in order to make virtual sites on the same
IIS server accessible, you'll need to kludge entries into your hosts
file (on the machine running the browser) - on windows 2000, this is
located in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts... on XP, change winnt to
windows.

For example:

192.168.0.1 www.sillydomain.com
192.168.0.1 www.clientsdomain.com

then you'll be able to go http://www.clientsdomain.com/ and so
on...just remember to take them out when you're done testing.

Either point the browser to the pc's name (http://webserver/) or see if the
router allows you to enter your own hostnames into its dns.

Well, I feel silly, because I have 5 PCs running XP, the server I want to
browse sites on is running Server 2000, and Im on Mac OS X. I was testing
from the Mac ... The web server is viewable without problem from anywhere
else on the network...
Now I just have to work out how to get this Mac to resolve IP addresses from
machine names and I'll be fine
Thanks for the prompt help guys :)

I have:

XH1149 - DSE ADSL Router USB + UTP v2

I have several domains pointing at my static IP on ADSL.

I configure the ADSL router so that it's web server is on port 85.
I configure the "Virtual servers" so that port 80 maps to the internal
private IP.

So anyone wanting to see http://www.nzcarriagedriving.org.nz or
www.klug.org.nz will actually be seeing a system on my LAN that is not
directly on the Net.

Hopefully your router is as simple and easy to configure as mine was.
