[MacPerl-WebCGI] More off-topic network issues...

[Richard Smith <richard@team-artonomy.com>]

Hello Everyone,

Sorry to keep asking about this, but I am once again having network 
configuration problems, and would welcome any ideas, or useful 
resources.

I use my Mac as a server, running QPQ, and have a PC connected by 
Ethernet. I have (after many attempts) finally configured the Mac so 
that I can use real domain names to access the sites we are working 
on. Previously, I could only access a site by using the IP address of 
the Mac, and switching QPQ's root folder to access different sites. 
This is obviously not ideal.

I have now created a host file for TCP/IP, as follows:

www.team-artonomy.com	A	192.168.1.2
local	CNAME	www.team-artonomy.com

Now I can enter the URL http://www.team-artonomy.com, and I can 
access the local site no problem. However, it only works using a 
browser on the Mac. If I use the same domain name on the PC, I get 
the usual overcomplicated 'This page could not be loaded' gubbins. I 
can still access the server using the IP address (i.e. 
http://192.168.1.2), but not the domain name.

I assume this is down to the configuration of TCP/IP on the PC, or 
the configuration of my Host file.

Does anyone have any ideas, or know of any resources that I can look 
up for clues? Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Richard
