Subdomains on LAN 1

[Itshim]

Greetings,

I have a small, 3 machine, LAN setup. One computer is running Apache2, with several subdomains. All computers on the network can see the main domain, but cannot access any subdomains. The computer which is running Apache can access the subdomains fine using both:

http://subdomain.localhost/

http://subdomain.computer_name

When another computer tries to access a subdomain using:

http://subdomain.computer_name

the browser tries to look for the address on the web not the local network. Is there anyway I can get other computers to see the subdomains?

Thanks

Are the subdomains resolvable via DNS?

Hey sleipnir,

Sorry, I should have mentioned that, no they are not. I wanted to recreate an exact duplicate of my live site on my home PCs for development purposes. Also this is Apache2 on Windows.

Then you need to add entries to your 'hosts' file on the client machines.
