So this isn't a publicfile-related question. Your computer has to know
the IP address of payal. As this isn't a public domain name you have to
define it for yourself.

The most simple solution would be to add an entry for payal to
/etc/hosts. The better solution is to setup tinydns on your machine. The
cr.yp.to website tells you how:
