I've installed webmin and apache. I'm mostly using this as a LAMP server, but I'd like to be able to access my server by http://hostname instead of by IP address. This will be from a windows mobile device that doesn't have a hosts file (at least as far as I know.) What do I need to do to make it so I can access the machine by it's hostname?

It's Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy I think)

Add it's hostname to whatever DNS server you're using from the mobile device.
