url error on intranet

The Suse Linux server has:
IP = 10.0.0.100
host name = myHost
domain = myDomain.com
web server Apache

When I want to browse an intranet application and input, eg
http://10.0.0.5/thisAppl/
the address is forced to
http://myHost.myDomain.com/thisAppl/
and is not resolved, giving error
.... The following error was encountered: Unable to determine IP
address from host name for...

If I input again '10.0.0.5', usually it works.
What have I to change, on the server and/or on my Windows node? (I
cannot rename the host).
Thank you.

Change Apache configuration file httpd.conf, where it says
UseCanonicalName. Comment it out (or de-comment it).
Another solution is to add "myHost.myDomain.com" to your local DNS
resolution.

Actually (see apache docs for UseCanonicalName), best to set:
UseCanonicalName off

Don't use any domain that can be confused with a real domain unless you
own it. Ootherwise use one that is truly bogus (would never be
registered and not ISO country code). For example mydomain.com is a
registered domain.
