That's it. It gave following > URL: raghu.dnsalias.net You must have done more than that. You registered, gave them an e-mail address to contact you at, then when you got your registration confirmed, you went to the dynamic dns services and got your form. I'm kind of wondering which form it was. The reason is that I'm wondering if it properly associated your requested 3LD (raghu under dnsalias.net) with your NAT/firewall/router/modem's external interface address. My web browser can't reach you. Ping is picking it up at maxonline.com.sg. That's likely to indicate some tomcat setup issues. > > > http://dummy.dnsalias.net/web/JSP/login.html http://raghu.dnsalias.net/ http://raghu.dnsalias.net/web/JSP/login.html just leave the web browser trying to connect. http://raghu.dnsalias.net:8080/ http://raghu.dnsalias.net:8080/web/JSP/login.html both get refused. You probably also have firewall setup problems. > > > But not from other computers (one at office). Can you ping raghu.dnsalias.net from the one at the office? Have you edited the hosts file of the machine at the office? Did you set it to the internal address of the server instead of the external address? (If your NAT/firewall/router/modem doesn't show the external interface to the internal net, you'll have to use the hosts file on all computers on your LAN, or set up an internal-only name server. And the IP address of the server for your office computers will not be the same as the one for the external net, of course.) Speaking of the firewall, is it forwarding port 80 and port 8080 to the server? > > Have you edited the hosts files on any of the > > computers, including the > > server? > > Yes.

So, does the other office computer ping it by raghu.dnsalias.net, by 202.156.229.137, or by an internal address (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x)? > > Wait. dummy is probably not a 3LD that you'd be able > > to get.

It does look like you may have both types of configuration problems. -- Joel Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> digitcom, inc. 株式会社デジコム Kobe, Japan +81-78-672-8800 ** <http://www.ddcom.co.jp> ** --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
