thanks. i am still a beginner, but i have tried setting up a server before. in fact, i’ve tried several times. i got it working, but never the way i really wanted to.

i’ve got the dyndns working on a client machine, so i think it’ll work on the server also.

would it hurt to have the same internal and external domain name?

ya’ll are a little over my head right now. here is what i’m going for:

setup an advanced leopard server with the domain name that i created with dyndns.com

host a website, file-sharing, maybe email, etc. including Open Directory Master.

so can i do this?

thanks, that’s what i figured. hopefully i can get it up and running this weekend. thanks again

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: khiltd[/u][p]If you’re not running your own DNS then I’m not sure what it is you think you need to put a domain name into. What are you talking about and does it actually have anything to do with OS X Server? [/p][/QUOTE]

in OS X Leopard Server, when you are setting it up, it will ask you to put in the domain name. during setup. so i’m trying to plan things out this time, so i get it done right.

have you used leopard server?

yes, i will be running the DNS service on my server. this is related to OS X Server, 10.5 edition.

sorry, let me try again.

so i finally got my dyndns account working properly. when i setup my server, what do i put for the domain name? the same thing that i set up as a “hostname” in my dyndns account?

it’s tmac.podzone.net. so i put that as my domain name? then my hostname would be servername.tmac.podzone.net? (kinda long hostname)
