Hello Tom, :)

Thanks for your time, help, and advise!!!!

In your Reply for "xitami and domain name" you mentioned the following:

   "Depending on your network topology, have you 
    checked that Xitami is bound to all IP's?"

I have tried to find out how to "BIND Xitami to all IPs" using Searches on the Internet and the Xitami Document, but am not having any success.

Could you please give an example or point me to a link/document that describes binding Xitami?


FYI,,,,I am a novice user of Xitami. Just loaded it last week and all seems to be working as expected on a LAN using 8 PCs (W95 and W98SE). Xitami is on a W98SE and I am learning and testing using the HOSTS file at each PC to force Domain Names to the IP address of the PC where Xitami is installed. 

Hosts file example:


             xx.yy.zz.1  www.abc.com
             xx.yy.zz.1  www.def.com
                    etc.

These are not registered Domain Names and are used for testing. However, when Xitami is configured to depend on registerd names via Virtual Hosting, I suspect that I will have the same problem as described by shing@walla.co.il. 

I thought that using a registered Domain Name should have worked within shing's LAN. If the Domain Name is not in the HOSTS file I thought it would be routed to the www database (HOSTS file) at the DNS Server which would then route it to shing's IP where Xitami is installed. That is what I thought(????). I have been away from the net a long time (circa 1975) and there is a lot I have to learn.

BTW,,,,, all my PCs are behind a router with the NAT firewall, so I may also have to expose the Xitami PC to the Internet when Xitami is configured to start using registerd Domain Names(???).

Thanks again for your time, help and advise!!!

Jerry :)

        I'm using Xitami SERVER under win2K
        Xitami work OK when I'm using the specific LAN  IP addr to =
connect  "http://xx.xx.xx.xx

        It's also work good when someone  connect from "outside world" =
to the server using my private domain name http://www.myname.net

        BUT when I'm  trying  ( from inside my LAN ) to use my private =
DOMAIN name I can't connect
        (I have already tried to set the host name in the "HOSTS.SAM" =
file.

        SO, what can I do to access my server from my LAN using the =
domain?

        Thanks for adv.
