Do I need to?
Dumb question - are you trying to connect to your DSL connected machine from another machine you that you are using a dialup connection on? If so, do you have a hardware/software firewall between that machine you are trying to connect to and the Internet?If you can ping by IP address, but not host name, then check /etc/resolv.conf to make sure the name servers are being updated.I didn't check a system that has a name (just my dsl-connected machine). I'll try a named system. Bruce:
If I understand things correctly now, you are trying to connect to a web server on your DSL connected machine from another machine using a dialup connection. This may be blocked at several places. Your ISP may block incoming port 80 connections. If you have a hardware firewall/router, it will also block this by default. If you are running a firewall on the DSL machine, it may also be set to block the connection.
