Sorry about that...when this list gets requests like this, it usually is
someone on a home cable modem trying to get it to work through the firewall.

Well, considering that other people are able to get to your machine and
(I'm assuming here) Xitami is set up and works fine on localhost, then
there is probably an issue either with DNS or your ISP.  Make sure that DNS
entries are pointed properly at your server, wait 24-48 hours for any
updates to take effect, then try again.  If that still does not work,
contact your cable provider about the issue.  Remember, 'nslookup' is your
friend :)

Hope this helps!
