Hey, thanks for the replies, I'll see if I can clarify a little bit.

I'm not sure, just a hypothesis. What I meant is that my server is probably seeing that a request is coming from a 129.97.x.x address, and then deciding to return through NIC #2, and that possibly the client machine isn't expecting that, so never recieves the packet. I don't really much about the innards of networking, so it probably works nothing like that On 9/20/05, Peter Clutton <peterclutton@gmail.com> wrote: > You need to have DNS set up correctly on your internal network, tha's why= IP > works but domain name doesn't. To what extent do I need to set up DNS? Are we talking about making a full BIND server and making sense out of that? Can you point me in the direction of a good guide, the handbook is awfully confusing on that subject. Right now, I am using a third-party DNS server (www.no-ip.org) with a registered domain name because on my old connection I was using a dynamic IP. Is my best bet just to contact them and see if they can set up entries that redirect certain IPs?
