In the Sharing system preferences, be sure you've set the machine name.
The two problem machines have names like "Eli's Computer" or "Diane's
G4 MDD" or some such. They've been set for years, because I use file
sharing every so often. Hmmm. I can't remember, but I wonder if the
apostrophes are in the names. That could be an issue.
Special characters don't propagate well. They were ok with
AppleTalk, but not for dDNS. Stick with basic alphanumerics and
dashes or underscores.
