setting up a dns server

  #1  
Jun 6th, 2008
Hi all,
I installed apache 2.2 on my home computer running windows XP. I want to use the server for intranet. I can access the server from other computers on the network by typing in the ip address of the server computer into the browser address bar. I would like to modify this so that instead of numbers I can assign a web address such as www.mysite.net. And access the server in that manner from any computer connected to my network. How can I do this with out modifying the host file?

Thanks in advance.

go to http://www.dyndns.com/ sign up for either a free domain name or pay a bit for a better domain name... the site will lead you to download and configure the software to update your dynamic ip.

the local network only or from both
local network and from outside the network via internet?
