The colon ':' in http://192.168.1.2:/mrtg is unnecessary unless you have a port other than '80' assigned to your server, as in: '192.168.1.2:8100/mrtg' ... but the IP address 192.168.1.2 is a private IP addy, so it is not accessible to anyone outside your LAN. http://STLBSERVER001L/mrtg and http://server1/mrtg are both missing the TLD designator... '.com' or '.net' or '.co.uk' ... or whatever, but there has to be a '.something' after the unique part of the domain name (STLBSERVER001L), or it will never be resolved into an IP address, by the DNS servers. You have to go to a registrar... like GoDaddy, or Network Solutions, and register your domain name, and pay a small yearly fee, if you want to be seen on the Web. rt> I am using SUSE linux for it.

If you just want your 'domain name' to work internally... in your private LAN, then each machine in the LAN will need to have an /etc/hosts file, that will associate the nicknames you choose for your server, with the private IP addresses you assign to them.
