Hey guys, this involves both FreeBSD and Linux

I run a BSD servre, just the basics... Webserver, SHoutCAST and a few other things. However I recently moved, and obtained a new ISP. Which means I need to change my hosts file. The way it was set up before, was the DNS sufix that I was given to my modem I tossed in the host file with the internal IP address. Then used DynDNS.org and put my public IP in and it gave me the hostname lust.homeunix.org. Easy enough, I just edited httpd.conf and put lust.homeunix.org as the Servername, forwarded port 80 on my router and bingo, working webserver! Now the problem with this new ISP.... the DNS sufix, has not showed up yet, I don't know if thats becuase it hasn't registerd yet since it was setup today or what. However I didn't think I needed that? I thought If I registerd my new IP with DynDNS.org with a new name, lets call it collegestation.homeunix.org, and I put collegestation.homeunix.org in my hosts file and in my httpd.conf it should work?

Basicly the hosts file looks like this...



::1 localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
192.168.0.2 new.hostname.from.DynDNS.org.here (tryed public IP to)


Now I guess I just have confused my self, thinking about it to hard or something. On another note, this was just weird, but when I plugged the server into the network, I couldn't ssh into localy untill it recieved the mac address from the cable modem, talk about odd! But thats a differnt problem, back to the problem at hand.

Httpd.conf

ServerName new.hostname.from.DynDNS.org.here (also tryed public IP here)



Any suggestions anyone might have would be greatly helpful!

Thanks.

Well guys, I figured it out... after hours of brain knocking, I discoverd that Cox cable, my ISP blocks port 80 lets all be thankfull for ICMP echo requests /grin :P (Go go PING!)




My netgear router won't allow me to view my webpage publicly, but thats mainly becuase it only has two interfaces, and the LAN interface doesn't loopback to the WAN interface.

I have my website forwarded to port 8080 http://lust.homeunix.org:8080


Now I just have to figure out how to change my links, to stop them from trying to go to http://lust.homeunix.org, my fourm (PhpBB2) keeps trying to do that Must find a way to have it route too :8080



Thanks.
