Hi Jaeho; If you are doing this stuff on a regular pc, connected to the inet via modem, into a ppp account, then you need TWO things to get ALL services working, and people seeing your pc as FULLY QUALIFIED Inet Host; 1. Either get a Domain of your own from InterNIC, this is rather difficult if you're NOT in USA, or if you are a POOR user, a VERY GOOD alternative, is to let someone else recognize your machine, which may be ; A. Your ISP ( many of them will have convulsions, just mentioning it) ,aka, REFUSE to do it. B. Pay Peanuts to either; http://www.dynip.com <-- I use this or http://www.monolith.com ( not sure about the URL) 2. Do some Tricks in DNS databses, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolve.conf to reload a set of values while OFFLINE, and another set of values (that include you dynamically allocated name) this can be done through ip-up, ip-down in the /etc/ppp Should you choose to do the Dynamic tricks, I'll be ready to help. Anyone else are also WELCOME. Greetings ALL. ---Jaeho Lee <jhlee@hanyon.co.kr> wrote: > > Hi. > I know this is not FreeBSD only question.
