If you still want to be able to connect to a computer on the basis of its |
| 9 |
name/FQDN in your LAN, you can enter this in the client PC's /etc/host file: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
192.168.1.8 livecd.yourLANdomain livecd |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Alternatively, you will need to set up a DNS service in a PC within your LAN |
| 14 |
and point livecd to 192.168.1.8. Bear in mind that the above will only work |
| 15 |
reliably if you have defined a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.8) for the |
| 16 |
livecd PC on your router. |

PS. To connect to it from a MS Windows machine with e.g. PuTTY you'll need the |
| 19 |
corresponding entry in the system32/hosts file. |
