| According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html I have to answer questions about my DNS names during the install. But I have a dynamic IP and no FQDN. I don't use BIND, either, which seems overkill for a tiny LAN. Is Apache just unsuitable for such an environment? BTW, I am planning to install on Win2000. |

No, but you have a few options.
1. Domain Name(or subdomain)/Dynamic DNS Service/update client
2. Use your Wan IP, however, when it changes you need to change things
3. Use localhost, but you will only be able to view it from that machine.
4. Use it's LAN IP, then it will answer to that inside the LAN.
I use option 1, numerous domain name using a few different DDNS services.
By "(or subdomain) I mean a subdomain of some of the Dynamic DNS services domain, like yourname.strangled.net (which you could get free from afraid.org
At http://www.technopagan.org/dynamic/ , there is a pretty good list of links to such services. |
