Re: DD-WRT version with D-link 615
 
When you use www.myhome.co.uk, your request does not go out onto the world wide web. It just goes to your router, and stops, as your router does not have a rule set up to forward that kind of traffic.

Can you try ping www.myhome.co.uk from a lan device to see if the DNS has been set up properly? If so, it should definitely work, so most likely a problem with the alias setup. To be honest if you have just one machine, it's even easier to just override it on the local machine but doing it on the router fixes it for all local clients.

Well what do you know. I managed to ping it using the LAN ip and www.myhome.co.uk and it replied. So I tried accessed the website and worked.

Not sure why it didn't work before and I didn't change a thing after I sent my last post.

Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
