RE: Question

You need to add A record for the FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name) of your server in your DNS server...i.e. First you need to specify the DNS server on your client machine so that it can resolve FQDN to IP address and subsequently connect to that server...second you should check if there is an entry for your server in the DNS server(you are specifying on the client machine)...   Bottomline is you can't just communicate with name on the Internet..basic connection is through IP address only...   Thanks, Vinod Kataria Network Engineer - MCSE, CCNA.

I am sorry for the dumb question, but I am new to this firewall setup.   Thank you again. Steven
