Hi again and thank you for your reply, I made the changes and it works better. Now I can connect to my server by typing www.myhost.mydomain, but only from my own computer.
Can I make something to connect to it with that name from any computer in the internet? Do I need a DNS for that? In that case, how can I get/configure it?
