thegodfaza Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I host a web site from a server I have in my home. I normally don't have a problem with previewing any content on it since I just type the local IP into my browser. But some things like PHPbb require the DNS name because they write it directly into the links. So when I try to click on a link from home I get my web address in my browser and you can't connect to yourself like that. So is there anyway I can make it so when I type www.exampleaddress.com into my browser it resolves to 192.168.x.x?
