RE: public_html directories not accessable outside of LAN

["Dan" <danb50@hotmail.com>]

Have you checked out http://www.dyndns.org or http://www.ddns.org at all? I 
would recommend getting a dynamic host like you.dyndns.org so you can update 
it and everything. Some have linux clients I believe. Also, I just had this 
problem again and fixed it by changing the servername variable to my static 
host. This is in the httpd.conf file and looks like:

ServerName your.server.here.net

You *might* be able to replace the server name with *.*.*.* IP address, but 
I'm not sure if that will be accepted. This is a pretty shallow way anyway, 
but you can try if all else fails.
