Can't find my Onion with http://omega-xxx.local/ #47

I first configured my Onion, connecting to its own network (Omega-XXXX) and updated the firmware. After a reboot, I connected my laptop back to the WIFI and I could not access Onion with a web browser pointing to http://omega-xxxx.local/ (xxxx = 4 last digits of my mac address). I had to connect my laptop to the Onion WIFI network again to gain access to the console. I discovered its IP address in my wifi network (192.168.0.X) and was able to access the web console via IP address (not via DNS name). How can I fix this?

If you're using chrome this generally won't work. I have this problem in chrome but in firefox and safari this will work fine. Can't vouch for IE.

An alternative option is to set a short name in the hosts file.

Other than that if you're using Linux or OSX is to just ping omega-xxxx.local from a command line and you'll get the IP address back.

use 192.168.3.1

By the IP address I know. I expect to find it by its DNS name. Will try in a different browser. thanks

Works for me in Chrome... have you installed Apple's Bonjour service if using Windows?
