Micro 2440 as server

eduardo
Hi, I'm trying to use my micro 2440 board as a webserver.

I'm using default boa server and its working good. The problem is that I
can't access the server using the server name.

ex:
ping 192.168.0.26 - OK
ping Micro2440Server - NOK

I configure the boa.conf file as:

Port 80
User root
Group root
ErrorLog /dev/null
AccessLog /dev/null
ServerName Micro2440Server
DocumentRoot /www
DirectoryIndex index.html
KeepAliveMax 1000000
KeepAliveTimeout 100
MimeTypes /etc/mime.types
DefaultType text/plain
CGIPath /bin
SinglePostLimit 8388608
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi cgi


The hostname on micro 2440 board is "Micro2440Server":
[root@Micro2440Server /]#


When I try to use telnet i got:
eduardo@eduardo-desktop:~$ telnet Micro2440Server
telnet: could not resolve Micro2440Server/telnet: Name or service not known


Someone knows how to solve that?

Thanks in advance.

eduardo,

Had a chat with one network guy and key words like <name server> and <host
table> were mentioned.

If that proves unhelpful I can find a network guru to question.

Regards,

Hallo,
if your "eduardo-desktop" is a linux system, you can edit the file:
/etc/hosts 

and add a row:

192.168.0.26 Micro2440Server

now your computer will be able to resolve you mini2440 server name.

Giuseppe

Hi Dave, thanks for your response. 
The <name server> is configured on boa.conf:
"ServerName Micro2440Server"

I'll check for this configuration in another file. Thus I'll look for the
host table.

Anzalon, edit the /etc/hosts is a good idea (I could do that on Windows
too), but I'm trying something easier. I don't want to edit several
computers.


My pc (eduardo-desktop) have a apache server, using the "eduardo-desktop"
address on web browser I can access my html pages from another pc. I don't
know how it is done, but it works.

Maybe by add the name on a DNS server of my network I could solve this
issue. I'll check this out and post the result here later. 

Thanks again for the responses.
