Thanks Miss Suzhanna, thanks Paul for your answers !

Indeed I do use the hosts file but without success (on Vista). When I 
try in my web browser to visit
http://mypublicdomainname.tld:9000 I get the OOpss page from opensim. 
But nothing when I try
to TP... anyway other people outside my LAN can :s I have to try on XP.

Thanks again !
