Dns
 

maybe is a newbie question but i don´t know

how can i set up a DNS for my ip adress??

You will need to find (then pay) a registrar to register your chosen domain then get them to alter the DNS record to point to your ip.

Alternatively - if you want a free subdomain try one of these:
http://www.myserver.org/
http://www.dns2go.com/
http://www.no-ip.com/

There are plenty more but these offer good free services.

well... thanks
but i need a DNS for a private IP
i don´t want to pay!!
i need to enter to my localhost using some adress

I thik you better look into using hosts files or setting up a DNS server. If you only have a few PCs it would be much simpler to use hosts files and just amend them on each PC.

PS - one of the free services would work but you would need to be connected to the net in order to resolve the ip.

the ip adress of my eth0 is 192.168.0.1
and i need to access to it through a domain like www.mono.com

can i do that???

Do you just want it to be accessible through your private network, or do you want the entire world to see the www.mono.com ???

If the first case: setup a DNS server or edit /etc/hosts will do the trick,
if the second is the case: you will need to have two (three) things:
A public IP address, and a domainname registrar. (and maybe a firewall with NATTING, (translates your external (public) Ip adress to your internal one: 192.168.0.1)

Hope this makes it clear....

"Officially" you would need to register www.mono.com and have a registrar point www.mono.com to your ip address but if you place:
in the hosts file of every computer that would need access to www.mono.com then you don't need to pay a penny.

If you have a large network (100+ PCs) you would probably be better off installing a DNS server to save on maintainance.

it is a private network
i will take a look to the /etc/hosts

hey i cannot find any /etc/hosts directory

maybe this /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts

Nope - but there is a "file" called /etc/hosts

You will need to be root to edit it.

If it aint there (highly unlikely) just create it.

ok
but how do i create it??

sorry... my mistake
i don´t wanna quote my own message

i need to create the file /etc/hosts

but how???

well..
i already made the DNS service for my private network

but now i need to view my machine from another computer
and when i try to access to it, it doesn´t try to find it throught the private network, it just look for it in internet
