JH,

You will need an entry added DNS server to translate the name to ip address or
add the name to your HOSTS file on your PC that you are aceessing from.

Hope this helps

Hello

You need an static entry in your dns server or pc hosts file

Just remember if you edit your hosts file  on your pc, Then your pc will always check that file before any dns server
 

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

R/C on the file = hosts  and untick read only

#
#
#

10.10.10.1             sw1-12

save your changes.

then - start/run/cmd
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
