To connect to your ftp server from your lan by using your domain name (ftp.mydomain.com) instead of the local ip (192.168.0.xxx), add an entry in your windows host file : – WinNT/2000 : c:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts – 9x/Me : c:\windows\system\hosts You should already have an entry with : 127.0.0.1 localhost Add the ip of the ftp server and your domain name like this : 192.168.0.1 ftp.mydomain.com You can now connect to ftp.mydomain.com from your lan. (you need to do this for all computers on your lan that you want to connect from).
