Local Client can’t resolve hostname..

[darnelld]

Totally new to AFP and DNS config so thanks for bearing with me….

I have successfully installed and configured (I think) Leopard 10.5.6 on my xserver. I followed and checked many of the DNS tutorials on line that help me to configure it correctly coming from a dynamic IP address from my local ISP…

I checked the DNS settings using the changeip command. Here are the results.

server:~ test$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:

Primary address = 192.168.1.100

Current HostName = server.myhouse.com
DNS HostName = server.myhouse.com

The names match. There is nothing to change.

[b] here is the question….[/b]

On one of my client computers on my network, I can afp://[fixed ip address of server] and everything works great! If I afp://server.myhouse.com nothing works and kicks the error message…

“The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “afp://server.myhouse.com” could not be read of written.

(Error code -36)

Is this a permission issue?

Thanks so much in advance

Josh, this is great advice (I apologize if I hijack this thread.) So, if I have an Xserve that requires both internal and web access and I want to give the webserver its own connection via the second eth card, with a different subnet, NAT will not work correctly?

For example:
eth01 = NET>AT&T (99.x.x.x)>Router>Xserve
eth0 = internal subnet (192.x.x.x)

As of now, if the eth0 card is DHCP’ing from our router, no one can connect to the website. As soon as I deactivate the eth0 connection, site comes right up.
