Hi Paul,

Thank you for answering.

I tried you proposal, though with a windows IIS server.
1. My computer name was set to Blackbox and the IIS server was started.
2. I started a explore browser on Blackbox and entered http://Blackbox, but
the page would not load.
3. In the browser I wrote http://192.168.1.30 and a login screen was
displayed. (192.168.1.30 is the IP of Blackbox)

Have I done something wrong or?

Regards
Flemming

Hi all,

I hope that some of you have ideas regarding this issue.

I would like to add a device to my local network (lets call it
"Blackbox").
I have the possibility to edit the software in the Blackbox.

I have one "simple" demand to Blackbox:
It must always be possible to enter http://Blackbox in a browser on every
PC
in the local network and then the internal webpage of the Blackbox must be
loaded in that browser.

I have one "simple" demand to every PC on my local network:
No setup procedure necessary. (eg. ip/name association, DNS IP)

I look forward to read if any of you have ideas to solve this.

1. give the device the name "Blackbox"
if it's a PC the set the computer name to Blackbox
2. run a webserver on that device
try Apache
