Hi
Im wondering if someone can point me in the correct direction. I have  
set my host name in my hosts file as
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
192.168.1.35 home.nathaniel localhost
So I wanted to use this to get my freeBSD machine from another  
computer on my network. If it try http://home.nathaniel/ on the  
freeBSD machine it works perfect.
But if I try from my mac i get the usual cannot find server. The  
ServerName in my httpd.conf is home.nathaniel.
Id like to get it sending this name so I can also use it with samba  
like:
\\home.nathaniel\public
Instead of using the machines IP address. Thanks for any help.
Eoghan
