ooh, purty. havent managed to login yet though... on the other hand ... why did no one tell me about dyndns.org before? turns out my broadband router has built in support for it too! f'ing cool.... time to play webservers :-)

that was far too easy, the hardest part was a bit of configging of my linux box (suse 8.0 = you have to set the ip/host/domain in 4, yes 4 different places/config files, ####ing stupid), so now i've hosted a web site via

1. dyndns.org
2. the router in my friends house 6 doors up the street
3. port forwarding of 80 to
4. the wireless lan point in his house
5. the wireless lan point in my house
6. the switch under the floorboards at the top of the stairs
7.  my  450mhz linux box

nice

but i'm not telling you the domain, cos i'm scared of breaking it :-)

now i wish i'd bloody get around to purchasing a net card for my amiga so i can host on it, woohoo!

still havent managed to log into that bbs yet though, i'll keep on trying, it just says it cant connect, infact ....  pings time out, though i'm not porting it.... hmz. i'll keep trying!

we use freeserver broadband which seems to work surprisingly well considering... though you get auto kicked after two hours you can redial and there's noting in the T&C about how much time/bandwidth per month your allowed to use :-)

keep on trying though, i'm intrigued!
