I have a debian sarge 3.1 2.6.I'm trying to configure a tor server.It needs a FQDN on the pubblic interface to start working.But i have a router and it is the router to get a pubblic ip , so tor doesn't see it even guessing

gabrix.ath.cx is a FQDN registred at dyndns.org you can check.Any help will be appreciated !
thanks !!!!!

Can you ping gabrix.ath.cx from that computer?

think it will work if you edit your /etc/hosts file and put
"one-of-your-local-ip's gabrix.ath.cx"
in there.
