The actual dynamic dns name is: raghu.dnsalias.net. When accessed from other machines, it says page not accessible it seems. Since i'm not the one who is accessing from other machines, i couldn't get the proper information about actual error message. Sorry about that.
By the error message, looks like web server is not responding. Is it so? Do i need do configure anything else? My apache server and tomcat are running even now. Default port for tomcat is 8080. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I do not get a ping for dummy.dynalias.net.
