Ok I have had my DNS 323 for about a month now. I have managed to get the web server running on it and everything runs great. Thanks everyone for all of the great information that you have posted. However I have a question. I would like to have people access the website hosted on the NAS, from with in my local network. Currently I have to type http://192.168.1.120:3000/index.html to access it. I would like to type Lanparty.now or just lanparty and have that site accesseble to everyone. As you can tell I am having a small lan party and want people to be able to access it to get any files they may need. Does anyone know how to do this or if it is even possible. I did try a program called simple DNS which I was able to point to the IP of the NAS however the Webserver is on Port 3000 and I could not access it. The DNS webpage came up but that obvioulsy isn't what I was going for. LOL I don't want to have to go through all of the hassle of signing up for a hosted service just for a LAN party of 10 15 people. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am knew to the network administration side of things.

One simple low-tech option...email the link to all your pariticipants...they can then click on the link in the email message and you don't have to worry about them mis-typing it/forgetting it, etc. They can make it a favorite if they want to...

Yeah I thought of that too. I was really wanting them just to type in something short. If all else fails I can do that. I want to learn of different ways of doing things. I like to tinker.

dnsmasq comes to mind. DHCP and DNS server, almost trivial to configure. You need another linux box, though... until someone makes it funpluggable.

Yup, I agree and feel the same way. It is nice to have a "brute force" fall back in case the finesse option fails.

Good luck...

why not use the netbios (not sure that is the term) name that you setup in the dns web config.

my box is named dns-323-1

all i have to do on my lan is type dns-323-1:8081

and im connected to the webserver

Myk

its located at: DNS web config > setup > name

Is there a way to access my webserver without entering long IP address
