Hi Desktop setup = Fedora 8 I have VMWare Server 1.0.4 installed on my desktop. I have used this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora-8-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig to create a local web server in VMWare Server. I can access ISPConfig from any PC on my LAN using the VM Guest's IP address, eg. https://192.168.0.100:81 However, I want to use a local domain name like: https://teksoft.homelinux.net:81 On my Fedora 8 Desktop where the VMWare Server is installed, I have setup MyDNS using the tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-mydns-mydnsconfig-fedora8. If I do: Code: dig @localhost teksoft.homelinux.net ...I get the following results: Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.5.0b1 <<>> @localhost teksoft.homelinux.net ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 24745 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;teksoft.homelinux.net.

Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. Am I missing something? Can any one please help me resolve this? Thank you Jannie
