Server going to home address.

[Moptop]

Whenever I access my mac though my ip, local ip, 127.0.0.1, or the part of my domain linked to it, it usually will change the url to "Imac.local". How can I stop this?

127.0.0.1 is your computers Home folder. Have you ever heard of the saying " There's no place like 127.0.0.1"?

I know that.

I mean when I access it anyway, even from another computer, the url will sometime change to imac.local. And if I'm accessing it from another computer, It can't access it then.

ip-number to name = reverse dns resolve.

How do you specify this imac from the other computer. That computer also uses 127.0.0.1 for itself, so you will need to use the outside world ip-number, or, if you have a dns server, its outside world name.


Good luck, Kees

I specify it by:

From anywhere:

home.moptop.info
72.228.92.226

Locally:
10.0.1.90
127.0.0.1
localhost


And they all jump to imac.local immediately after a link is clicked.



WTF? It isn't doing it anymore, Lol. Well, thanks anyways.
