Although I haven't done the virtual host part, I had this problem at first too. From inside my local net I could only http, telnet, ftp, etc. to the linux box (also inside my local net) via the local net ip num. But then I updated the firmware in my linksys router, and now I can use the external domain name, and/or ip num, and it routes everything OK. Is this what's called loopback? -- Jack Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <www.jackhodgson.com> ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
