installation help
Hi,
Can you guys please help me with this. I have 2 questions. 1st: I am kinda confused about the part where it asks you to input the "hostname" for the server:confused: http://www.labtestproject.com/files/...hostname_b.png My question is can I use any hostname like, whatever.iwant.com? or do I need a specific hostname? 2nd question: http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/5922/fed.jpg In the field where it asks for the ip address which ip address do I enter? the wide area network ip or the local area network ip that starts with 192.168.0.1? also its asking for the nameserver where do i find the nameserver ip? i went to cmd ipconfig /all but I cant find anything thats states "Nameserver":confused: I would appreciate if you guys could help (pics above) |

2. Again, it depends. If you're at home, using a home-networking device like a linksys/dlink router, you can probably select "use DHCP", and not input an address, as it will get one automatically, along with the nameserver, default route, etc. Office/corporate - again, see network administrator. |
I want use the fedora machine as a server from home. Its mainly for server use. To the hostname part if i enter whatever I want would all the people from the world will be able to see it? I got a hostname from no-ip.com, is that the hostname I need? or just about anything? as for the ip address part dont you think its best if I need manually input all those address to use it as a server rather than dhcp?

So do i put the name from no-ip as the hostname? sorry im still confused lol. What you guys saying is that it doesnt really matter what i put as the hostname right? cause i registered a hostname at no-ip and im just wondering where that goes to..

what kind of server you are setting up?
I tried dyndns.com once and it did not need a lot of work there was a DDNS section in my router's configuration (take a look maybe it will save you some effort) I think this link will have all the instructions you need: http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/...te_client.html and I also found this video: (I did not watch it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbwFfvMm_a8 Good Luck |
thanks man that was helpful.
p.s im setting up a webserver to run 24/7 including ftp,apache,php and all the other server side materials. |
