I'm afraid I've forgotten - or didn't read - earlier details. Have you got a public IP address? Can you ping the domain name from outside your network - from an Internet cafe or a friend's machine? Have you set up a web server? Can you access that from outside? Does your IP address point to your ISP's server or to yours?
