Accessing intranet by computer name is slow
I have a fairly typical home wireless network. My main desktop on IP
192.168.1.2 is connected by ethernet to my router. My laptop is wirelessly connected and has IP 192.168.1.3. My desktop is running Apache/MySql with a local web in htdocs/myweb. If I access the local web from my laptop using the IP address as http://192.168.1.2/myweb it's very fast, but if I access using the computer name as http://desktop/myweb it is unbearably slow - every page load takes forever. What's the explanation for this, and can it be fixed? I am going to be installing this system for a local charity and they won't want to (shouldn't need to) be typing IP addresses.

Thanks for taking the time to try to help, but using http is not the problem.
The point is, I am talking to a web server on my local network - using the numerical IP address is fast, but using the computer name instead of its IP address is slow. That's what I need to sort out. Jeff.

Hi, Sorry for not completely answering the question. I am not completely sure on the topic, all that comes to mind is NAT, however that shouldnt be a problem. Here are a few pages which will hopefully help 'Geek to Live: How to set up a personal home web server' (http://lifehacker.com/software/featu...ver-124212.php) I will try to assist you in anyways possible -- tatz93

Hi, Jeff - If you can access the server by IP address and not by name, then the issue is with DNS. I don't know anything about setting up Apache, but DNS is where to start troubleshooting.
