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

[Troy Meyers]

Kevin and dan,

Thanks for your suggestions. I haven't had success yet, though.

Kevin:

I did as you suggested with NetInfo Manager, very easy to do. I tried both the ./local and ../network flavors without luck though. I still get the same message in the browser. In each case I tried the "lookupd -flushcache" in Terminal, as well as the menu item "Restart Local NetInfo domains" in NetInfo manager, quitting and relaunching Safari, and lastly also restarting the machine.

Maybe I'm going about this wrong... what computer am I supposed to be doing this on? I did it on my desktop where I'd be doing the testing from. I did not do it on the FMSA machine.


dan:

I didn't really get to try your method. I wasn't able to find the "hosts" file in a directory "etc". What's the full path? I thought I searched everywhere, but maybe it's secret. Obviously I'm pretty green about editing system files.

Thanks again for your help.
