Arduino Yun : problems using http://arduino.local

Hi all,
I correctly connect via wifi to my arduino yun, I get the configuration pages of LucI by addressing http://192.168.240.1 but I CANNOT connect to arduino yun using http://arduino.local. I operate with a Windows 8.1 Operating System, and I even configured two firewall rules (incoming and outcoming) opening port 5353 on UDP protocol on Windows, unfortunately I still can't connect with http://arduino.local. Any advice ? thanks in advance
Bye

Do you have Bonjour installed on your Windows machine? You probably do if you've installed certain Apple products like iTunes. But it doesn't come with Windows, and isn't installed by default. Without it, the arduinio.local address cannot be resolved and you will have to use the IP address.

An other solution would be giving to the Yun a static ip and after that access it from there, also you can edit your hosts file and make a redirection

After tweaking with windows 8.1 networkprotocol IPv4 configuration , it worked out in this way:
I toggled out automatic DNS and I defined a primary DNS on 192.168.1.5 (which is the ip address that my wifi router/modem gave to arduino Yun) and a secondary DNS on 192.168.1.1 (which is my wifi router/modem).
Moreover, under the folder Hostnames (in LucI panel) i defined the following line:
arduino.local 192.168.1.5.

stefanos90, thankyou for your advice, maybe it would have worked simpler updating directly file hosts under windows 8.1

Changing those DNS entries doesn't do squat. The last setting could be a possible workaround...

But it worked out ! Why ?

It can't. Certainly not setting one DNS server to your router, which likely isn't providing DNS service in the first place. And setting the DNS to the Yun itself will only work with the added hosts entry, which in turn becomes useless if the Yun get's a different IP address...
