I intent to develop a centos server with lamp. What I want is connect the server to any kind of home network and access it by http://myserver. I have already successfully set a static ip but I can't seem to ping it by name.

If you had to develop a solution with the intent to plug in the box by Ethernet to a router and access it with a browser using the server name what would you do? That's basically what I'd like to know.

Thanks in advance
