W2k Question

[Justin Bennett]

As usual, I can use a little pointing in the right direction for a w2k
issue. My friend is running a netgear router on adelphia powerlink, your
not supposed to host anything on powerlink, with that said, he wants to
access port 80 on an internal linux box from outside. He has the port
redirected and he can hit it fine from the outside. When he goes to
connect from his w2k PC in his home network behind his router, dns lookup
for his ods.org hostname gives him his 24.x.x.x adelphia address, and
tries to connect to that, he winds up getting the login on the router
admin page. Not his port 80 on his linux box. He can't seem to configure
the router to allow this to pass through or turn off the web admin. I have
a linux firewall, not a router, I have it allowing me to loop back in, so
it works for me, he can't seem to get it to work with his router.
What I suggested is to setup a host entry on the w2k client for his
ODS.ORG hostname to his internal 192.168.120.40 address. Finally my
question, I'm looking at his lmhosts file, how would I add an entry for:
hostname.ods.org 192.168.120.40

or would I do it in a different file?

Thanks
Justin
