Need help with DNS

[sagacious]

Hi. I changed my network setup a while ago. I had to put everything behind a firewall router due to a denial of service attack.. So now, I am specifying a “static” ip in my rc.conf, but it’s a local one, 192.168.1.20, I port forwarded all the services to that ip. The problem is, you can all go to my site, http://www.unixhideout.com, but if I click that url, my router pass box pops up… I had to temporarily change ALL the links in my site, for example <img src=http://www.unixhideout.com/img/blah.gif to <img src=/img/blah.gif.. and I access the box using http://192.168.1.20 I don’t want to have to do this, and a lot of things do not work for me and its my site!! Well, I posted this a while ago, and a lot of people said if I ran my own DNS for my domain, I could stop this from happening.. Well I took the time to learn DNS a bit, and im running it now, and I was wondering exactly what I need to do.. In my unixhideout.com.hosts I specified this..   $ttl 38400 unixhideout.com.        IN      SOA     labs. root.unixhideout.com. (                         1025839968                         10800                         3600                         604800                         38400 ) unixhideout.com.        IN      NS      labs labs.unixhideout.com.   IN      A       65.187.193.189 root.unixhideout.com.   IN      RP      root.unixhideout.com. admin Host-Info.unixhideout.com.      IN      HINFO   INTEL FreeBSD mail.unixhideout.com.   IN      MX      10 65.187.193.189 unixhideout.com.        IN      A       65.187.193.189 mail.unixhideout.com.   IN      A       65.187.193.189 smtp.unixhideout.com.   IN      A       65.187.193.189 www.unixhideout.com.    IN      A       65.187.193.189 pop3.unixhideout.com.   IN      A       65.187.193.189 irc.unixhideout.com.    IN      A       65.187.193.189 email.unixhideout.com.  IN      A       65.187.193.189 ftp.unixhideout.com.    IN      A       65.187.193.189   Everything works.. You guys (the net) can go to my site and use all the services. But I cannot.. I tried changing all those IPS to 192.168.1.20, and then I could use unixhideout.com and you couldn’t!! im losing my patience! Please tell me what I have to do for the internet AND ME to be able to use the domain I paid for! =] and when you explain pretend I’m 2 years old. Im fragile.
