<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Pete,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> From what you say I assume
you have myusername.dyndns.org set up to be your external IP address.
Browsing from outside your lan using <A href=""><FONT size=3
face="Times New Roman">myusername.dyndns.org:9000</FONT></A> to get the
hippo page is some key info. Now I'm still wondering what you're
doing in the hosts file. If your dyndns is set up to point to your
external IP you shouldn't need to modify it using hosts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> By the way for internal address
0.0.0.0 is normally the address is use.</FONT></DIV>

<P>Just before I answer these questions, note I just tried building a DNS
server and using that instead of the hosts file, but it did not'help.</P>
<P>For external hostname I am using <A
href="http://myusername.dyndns.org">myusername.dyndns.org</A> and I have Aldo
tried my external IP address 202.155.etc</P>
<P>The internalhostname I've tried 0.0.0.0 as well as 192.168.1.251</P>
<P>I can also browse to <A
href="http://myusername.dyndns.org:9000">myusername.dyndns.org:9000</A> and
get the hippo page...</P>

through. I'm curious about what your have specified in your region parameters
for ExternalHostName and what you're putting in the Host entry to point back
to the server. Whatever you could reveal while protecting your network would
help.<BR>> At handshake time the server hands the viewer an address to use
for UDP. The problem could be that address isn't correct or the port is
blocked (or both.) Since you seem sure the ports are open I'm wondering about
the address.<BR>> - Gary<BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>>
