Hi Matthias, thank you for the fast reply.
Ok so if i don't use an openwrt home router (that allows me to set local hostnames in /etc/hosts) i have to configure every device (pc/smartphone) to resolve the hostname, or directly change the hostname to "piratebox" (without .lan).
I am thinking for now to keep the AP mode working, because i will be the only experienced user that knows that to upload you have to go to the 8080 port.
Another possibility that i'd rather not implement but would be possible is that i disable completely the dhcp in the existing modem/router and use it just as modem and switch/AP, but then i would have to set the RPi to resolve just
Thanks
Diego

to the local ip and disable the redirection, so the clients would still be able to reach "the internet" (which as i said before was my ultimate goal, but at this point i am starting to think that it isn't feasible)Language: HTMLhttp://piratebox.lan
