Thanks, as a matter of interest could one use NetInfo Manager to do
this and just add an entry under machines ?

Vincent,
The same trick they describe works on Mac OS X, too. On Mac, the
hosts file is in /private/etc (which is not visible in the finder
unless you choose Go -> Go to Folder...)
Just add your IP, then the name you use, aspect. For example, if your
machine is 192.168.0.81, then the entry would look like:
192.168.0.81 aspect
Take care,
Nathan

Dear List
Sorry I obviously did not make myself clear on this. I am developing
this on a Mac under Mac OS X, this problem that occurs, occurs on my
Mac, the fact that I am on a windows network is what causes the
aspect.local problem, since Mac OS X, allows you to retrieve a
machines IP by using machine.local if you are on a Mac OS X network.

Vincent,
When you say that "http://localhost:etc etc" works, you mean the
windows machines can work with the app? This would surprise me (but
I may have learnt something new).
The problem - as you already suspect - is that the PCs get given a
URL with a domain name. They then turn to their DNS for the ip
address, but have no luck as the DNS has no listing for your
machine.
What you can do to get it to work is to add a hosts file on their
machine (the OS checks this first before going to the external DNS).
Unfortunately I can't remember where Windows stores this file. Can
someone else fill in this part for me?
Hope I have added some hope.

I am currently developing a web objects app. At work most of the
machines are Windows machines, and I am forced to retrieve my IP
address (which is static) via DHCP. Mostly I am unaware of the fact
that I am on a "windows networks". My machines name is "aspect".
When I run my WebObjects app, the URL that XCode / WebObjects
generates when it opens the app in Safari is of the form
"http://aspect.local: etc etc". The lookup of aspect.local fails,
presumably because the DHCP server (or whatever is acting as the
local DNS) does not know what aspect.local means. This same URL
works perfectly when I am at home on my Mac only network. If I
change the URL to be "http://localhost:etc etc", then everything
works. What do I change where to get this default to change to
localhost, is it a Mac OS X setting or a WebObjects setting.
