well, there are some ways... But to operate and see "http://host.domain.suffix" instead of "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn", the client needs to resolve the name into an IP.. And that is done by using DNS Server. I don't know if there is some sort of a registry entry that could "hardcode" this NAME --> IP translation. And sloppy version is, if you are on a switched network (no layer 3 devices in the way), one can use "computer_name" (I think it must be the same broadcast domain) in IEX... But that is kind of useless.
Good luck -- Tomas Bryan Sultanik wrote:
How can I mask or hide my ip address behind a 'friendly name' when users access my web app via web browser. Currently, when they hit the app, their browser shows 192.xx.xxx.xx instead of 'myserver'. I am running Web logic 7 on a Win2k server, have specifically chosen not to register the server inour enterprise DNS for security reasons.Thanks in advance. --Bryan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Visual & Easy-to-use are not words that you think of when talking about network analyzers.
