local network domain

Hello,

Apologies in advance if this question is too trivial. I’m new with mikrotik and am just a normal end user.

Recently I replaced my ASUS RT-N56U with RB750GL and RB2011UiAS, this is because of network expansion and for my IPTV relocation to the 2nd floor. Everything has been setup fine and I have no problem with the IPTV or my internet. My only problem is accessing local network by domain, it is now NOT WORKING.

I have a domain which is pointed to my network so I can access it from anywhere. Let’s call it myhome.com.

Previously with N56U and within my local network:

  • I’m able to load up my NAS gui by just typing “DISKSTATION” in my browser.
  • I’m able to load up my jukebox by just typing “A210” in my browser.
  • I’m able to load up my nzbget by just typing my home domain “myhome.com:6789” for an example.

Now, with mikrotik, if I’m within my local network, I can only load the pages above by calling them using IP addresses.

Is there something that I can do so it work like it did with N56U before?

Thank you.

Anyone? please?

For the first two you can probably solve it by creating static DNS entries on your routerboard.

For the last option you will need a hairpin-nat rule to let that work
See http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Hairpin_NAT for that.
