All a name is, is another reference to your IP. It'll resolve to your public IP, you'll try connecting to internally, and strike one of several problems: As before, your router sees no point in routing out and in again, and simply routes internally. And if it didn't do that, you can get snagged via a firewall (internal traffic crossing the boundary of internal/external addresses) if you have one set up against IP spoofing. If you have an ISP with a proxy, you can try browsing through that. I'd avoid the temptation to run an internal DNS server that gives you an internal address for the server, different from the internet address for the same domain name. That tends to confuse other things that want to check the address (like the tools that set your dynamic address). You can do what I do: Set the webserver's servername to the fully qualified domain name (e.g. mysite.example.com), and set a server alias to just the hostname (e.g. "mysite"). Then just browse to the hostname internally, to check how things work. You don't have to change the server PCs hostname to do that, just give yet another one. e.g. A hosts file entry like: 192.168.1.20 mycomputer.localdomain mycomputer mysite Or play with CNAMES if you run your own webserver. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
