I'm running a Ubuntu desktop OS as a Git and web server. The server is named bbtsrv03.

Everything is setup perfectly, however the only way I can access this server from my local machine to get to Gitweb is to access it via bbtsrv03.local which is a pain.

My MacBook is named Theodore yet I can access the web server without .local- how can I enable the same settings for the Ubuntu PC?

Sorted this out. It was a server configuration problem. Also it helped to setup the server on the Windows workgroup...
