IKH> Anyone have any more suggestions? IKH> Ian K. Harrell IKH> [EMAIL PROTECTED] You have your services up and running, and you can access them by typing localhost as adress. You have set up your firewall rules correct. (MDK control center does it fine for standart ports) Then what is left is the definition in /etc/hosts. Define your ip (that is connected to the internet) as your host.name (that is connected to the internet) above the line of your local line.
