This might be your problem: Script started on Fri Nov 28 10:43:03 1997 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host 3dillusion.com 3dillusion.com A 198.109.162.43 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host 198.109.162.43 198.109.162.43 does not exist (Authoritative answer) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ exit exit
Script done on Fri Nov 28 10:43:15 1997 ie, you have no reverse namelookup for your host. Talk to your provider about adding a PTR record for your host to their 162.109.198.in-addr.arpa zone, so that a 'host [your ip]' spits out '3dillusion.com'.
