Hello Many Lists,

I'm sorry, but I thought you said:

> > > I have the exact same setup as you but it wont work for me.

1) You are not using Road Runner - you are using AT&T
2) You are not using dns2go, you are using some other name server
3) You are using a subdomain of a domain that is hosted in another state - I
have a single domain
4) Doesn't sound like your ip is dynamic, although it is not clear at this
point
5) You are using the xitami html interface,  while I am editing the config
files directly

The suggestions I gave in my last post was specific to my setup.  And, yes,
www is required in order to use port forwarding in dns2go.  I know it is not
required in general, but it is what the dns2go sever program specifically
looks for in order to know what to port forward and not port forward.  In
other words dns2go will not port forward http://mydomain.com  , but it will
port forward http://www.mydomain.com .  It all ends up at the same ip, but
only the one with the www prefix gets port forwarded by dns2go (in other
words its specific to dns2go).

I'm sorry but your setup is very different than mine.  From your responses,
it seems that your provider may well be at fault.  My guess is Xitami is
working fine - as it is serving out web pages to those who can get to it.
Hopefully with enough experimentation, you'll find a port that everyone can
get through on.

And, I'm not trying to get on your case, cause I don't even care cause I'm
on high-speed and got drive space for weeks, but your original response to
my post that I received at 3:48 PM was in html - not the one you sent the
screen shot of.
