My laptop and the server are in two different countries. Btw, laptop also run
FreeBSD.
>2) check server is accessible (ping <YOUR_SERVER_IP> from laptop)
Yes, the server is accessible (ping <YOUR_SERVER_IP> from the laptop.
>3) check server is accessible via TCP/53 ("telnet <YOUR_SERVER_IP> 53" from
>your laptop)
No, there was a reverse DNS error here. It was pointing to the Reverse DNS
server of the data centre.
Now its been corrected:
telnet <YOUR_SERVER_IP> 53
Trying <YOUR_SERVER_IP>...
Connected to ns1.mydomain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

No firewall on the server yet.
>5) check your server is configured to use the same DNS: cat /etc/resolv.conf
>
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver other_ip1
nameserver other_ip2
Although the Reverse DNS is now been corrected, still cannot ping as from the
laptop:
ping www.mydomain.com
ping: cannot resolve www.mydomain.com: Host name lookup failure
Any ideas?
Regards
Unga
