If you're not familiar with networking then I would STRONGLY suggest that you stay well clear of putting your server directly on the Internet. Put it behind a good firewall and play there instead. > I installed [...] debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso > I was able to ping both IP addresses and domain names.
