Web address instead of IP address on home network

[philjayj]

I have just installed SugarCRM Community Edition on my home network (for use in a piece of uni coursework). To access it via a web browser, I have type the IP address of the 'server' in to the browser's address bar.

For future reference when I install another web based app, how can I access it via a URL, for example, http://crm.domainname.com etc?

many thanks

Phil

Whatever the case, you need to provide more info on your lan set-up.

Thanks for the reply. My LAN setup isn't that sophisticated tbh. I have a WNR2000 router and a switch connected to the router. Thats about it really.

You could register a domain name and set the private addresses for hosts?
Not strictly speaking legit, but does work.

Excellent! Worked a treat.

Thanks for all the replies, your help was much appreciated.
