"intranet"

hi all! i've been RTFMing and checking out tutorials on setting up apache server. this is my first time ;-) i use roadrunner and i think port80 is blocked since i can't seem to access my site. so i thought i would do an intranet. my question is, how do i type "intranet" into the browser from any computer on my lan, and bring up my site?

any comments are appreciated!!
thanx,
chipy
 
Assuming Apache is configured correctly you'd need either 1) a DNS server pointing to that IP and resolving it to intranet or 2) use the Windows host file to accomplish the same thing. JackMDS will be along and probably mention the Windows host file.
 
thanx for that insight... i'll lookup some tutorials on BIND DNS and see if I can't get that to work.

thanx again!

for the purpose of testing, simply goto a different computer on your LAN and in the web browser address type "http://" then the local IP of the server with apache (this is usually something like 192.168.x.x) and it should pull up the "Welcome to apache" page.
