I have OS X Server 10.4.10 running on a home system. I am a convert from the Windows/Linux networking world and am having some difficulties setting up my new server.
When I had a Linux gateway router and firewall I was able to use my domain name from within my network and my system worked flawlessly, but for some reason the Mac OS X Server is determined to use my residential domain name through my cable company.
How would I go about telling the server to use my registered domain name rather than the domain name used by my ISP on the Mac OS X Server?
As an example, when I want to view a web page on my server from within the network, I have to use http://192.168.1.1/ to see the pages on my server because http://www.carrollweb.net/ gives me a Server not Found error from the client. However, while sitting at the server I can type in my http://www.carrollweb.net/ and I see my homepage.
change ip -checkhostname produces
Primary address = 66.91.110.214
Current Hostname = cpe-66-91-110-214.hawaii.res.rr.com
DNS Hostname = cpe-66-91-110-214.hawaii.res.rr.comThe names match. There is nothing to change.
I can’t image there is not a workaround for this.
Mahalo for any help!
My topology is:
– Cable modem – Mac OS X Server – Linksys Switch – D-Link Wireless router (used as a switch) – Wired/Wireless Clients
My name servers are at DynDns.org, and I have the DynDns script that ensures my IP address is up-to-date with DynDns.org.
However, I have my name servers on my server pointing to my ISP. Should I change that to be the name servers for DynDns.org?
Thanks!
