Now, you can visit your website from the local network, but you want to be able to lookup a machine's name based on its IP address. Solution You need to configure Freesco's DNS server for reverse DNS lookups. The DNS configuration is stored in one of three files, depending on your local addressing scheme. text/html 2005-09-14T00:49:13+02:00 http://dingetje.homeip.net/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/freesco/howtos/setting_up_subdomains_in_dns?rev=1126651753&do=diff Problem: You have a webserver (or any server) on your local network, and Freesco is configured to forward port 80 (HTTP) to that server. You also have a domain name (say, www.example.com) that points to your public IP address. When someone from the outside world punches www.example.com into their browser, your webpage shows up. But if you type www.example.com into your browser on your local network, nothing happens. text/html 2005-09-14T00:49:13+02:00 http://dingetje.homeip.net/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/freesco/howtos/setup_ssh_tunnel_to_connect_with_vnc_server?rev=1126651753&do=diff Objective: Getting secure (and fast) connection from Windows environment to remote VNC server behind router/firewall (such as FREESCO) with ssh server installed. Achieved results: Secure connection to remote desktop using open source VNC or Tight VNC software (that is normally doesn't encrypt traffic other than password). As a “side-effect”, shorter response times achieved due to ssh efficient traffic compression.
