FQDN

I get the same error no matter what I enter.
localhost
hostname.foo.bar
ipaddress

All will return the error that Server Settings cannot find an agent on the port. Please check to make sure agent is running. (not exact wording, because I am not in front of server)

things that are probably useful to know.
I run my own DNS, but only own a portion of the IP range, so I don’t have reverse lookup control. There is reverse lookup, but it is DSL providers useless naming. something like ADSL-192-168-1-138-DSLprovider.com .

My DNS, is set up to provide hostname.foo.bar with IP info or 192.168.1.138, but reverse is not set up. I will be moving the machine to internal private IP in the near future, and will have reverse DNS control at that point.

Should I have an alias record for hostname.foo.bar as ADSL-192-168-1-138-DSLprovider.com for 192.168.1.138?

All IP’s and naming is examples (obviously, but wanted to be sure to be clear)

I’ve seen at least one other posting with this issue, on another forum, but as yet neither of us have gotten useful feedback. I’m hopefull….
