   point me in the right direction. When I put the url (86.20.241.0) in, my routers
   homepage pops up as it should. Any way to change this?
 * Im running ubuntu btw
 * thanks in advance, ben

 * The easiest way to do this is to add your domain name and the local ip of your
   server to your hosts file of your home machines. Or if you want to get really
   adventurous set up a dns server and point the domain to the local ip.

 * Ok, I thought it was something like that
 * Could you point me in the right direction, I tried something like the guy in 
   the linked post had done, to no avail.
