This seems like it would pop up a lot, but my Google searches have been in vain so I'm hoping you folks can help out.
I've set up a web/email server over my DSL connection at home, since my ISP doesn't have a problem with it I figured I'd save some money by cancelling my hosting account and going at it myself (very low-traffic site). I've got it all set up, pretty standard, FreeBSD 5.4 with Postfix, Courier, Apache, etc. Forwarded the necessary ports through my router. It's all working correctly.
My question is, though, how do I use my laptop to access the server to check email / view web pages when I'm on the local subnet (on the same router)? Obviously, when I try to access, say, mail.pocketmartiansoftware.com it doesn't work correctly because the IP is of the router I'm behind. I don't want to just set it in /etc/hosts, because I also take my laptop to school and use it there, where I'm not on the same subnet. Is there some more elegant solution? I've looked over all the settings in the router and nothing looks like it'll help. It's an Actiontec DSL/wireless router, if it makes a difference.
Thanks a ton, I just know I'm missing something obvious here.
