LAN HTTP Server redirect?

[Com807877]

Hi all,

I am wondering if it would be possible to set up LAN computers to redirect to an HTTP server (192.168.0.100) on the LAN by typing a domain name in internet explorer.

To explain further - is there anyway I can set up a LAN computer to connect to 192.168.0.100 by typing, for example, www.help.com in internet explorer? (instead of going to the actual www.help.com it should redirect internal LAN computers to 192.168.0.100 instead).

I think this would be a lot easier than to have to type the numerical address.

All computers are connected to a router.

Thanks very much!

If you don't have too many computers, you could just add an entry to the hosts file on each computer.

Fish,

Thank you very very much! I forgot all about the hosts file!

This is working great now. I spent over two hours researching how to do this and it's so simple lol.

Thank you again!
