What to do if you cannot use your HDA as a DNS server.

On your client computer, manually set the DNS servers to your Amahi HDA's ip address

If you cannot do that or that doesn't work, you can manually edit you client hosts file to point to the Amahi HDA's IP address for all application's names you want to access

Set the DNS of your client to the IP address of the Amahi server

  • In Linux clients and Unix derivatives (FreeBSD/Mac OS X) edit /etc/hosts, for example:
       192.168.5.25    joomla joomla.home.com
