Hi Guys, I know my question is a so newbie question, but it's really confusing me. I don't understand the reason of using the dotLOCAL domain name instead of dotCOM, beside I don't understand how the communication occurs to and from the Internet to this kind of DomainName. Your help is so much appreciated. best regards, Simon
Hey Simon,a dotLocal domain is not for communicating with others. It is just available within your LAN. It is a possibiliy to create an ADS domain or (I think) kerberos realms without having to register your own domain. You can still communicate with others over the internet, but just not using the dotLocal.
Hope this helps a bit. Cheers Phil Bieber -- Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life. Atheism is a non-prophet organization. GPG KEY ID (Philipp Bieber): 0x0185E301 FINGERPRINT: CA81 28C2 E63F DAF8 5ED4 DACB 7C26 EE5B 0185 E301 Philipp Bieber - philbieber () gmail com
