[FX.php List] Somewhat [Off Topic] How to tell your local computers which is a domain-named server

[Troy Meyers]

Kevin,

YES please. I think it might well do it.

Regarding the ADSL ZyXEL, it seems very clumsy to configure and it appears you can't map incoming port numbers to other ones on the local network. It may well be that the problem is that the ZyXEL is not as nice as the Efficient Networks router, and that's the problem.

I'd like to try the NetInfo method.

Thanks again!
