Hello Ben
Sounds like you might need some DNS magic here. I am not
entirely sure I
understand why you would want to use fake dns names.
I don't especially want to use a fake name, I just don't have
a real one to use... the machine I'm talking about is my home
machine with dynamic IP
Why not simply add an entry to /etc/hosts? Like I do to get a
pretty name for logins from my XP machine:
192.168.0.6 my-xp-machine.org
- Mark
Ok, what IP do I put? My dynamic IP in the real world (which is pretty static
in practice), or something else? The address you've used in your example
looks like my vmnet addresses.
Cheers,
Ben
You can simply use 127.0.0.1 in there.
127.0.0.1 localhost my-xp-machine.org
