There has been no problem.
I'm not having the slow pings that Brian mentioned. I'm not having the slow page downloads that Marte mentioned. I'm just having weirdness where the services work from the internal side, whether I use the 192.168.x.x address or whether I use the computer-name.local address. No problem whatever. I can ping the rising.homedns.org address no problem, so that the machines can find the address. Of course, I can ping the 12.220.x.x address to which the rising.homedns.org address points. So... the nameservers know the proper address number and can find the machine. BUT, if I try to use either internet address (not local), the web pages come back with 'server not found' errors and ssh comes back with 'connection refused' errors. This means that the problem must be somewhere outside my configuration, no? The router has the ports forwarded, so I'm not sure how the router could be the problem. Still, I updated the firmware to no avail. My guess is that insight has started blocking ports 22 and 80 for us low-end high-price folks, but Lee seems to think this is false. Lee, don't you have a static IP with insight? I thought there was some goofiness when they set up your cable modem, so that you got some special service inadvertently. I could be way wrong, though. Does anyone have a strange gotcha or other problem (say, dns related) which could allow ping to find the computer, have ports to be forwarded to the proper machine, have the proper services turned on, but not allow the services to work?
