Appears to be just be serving your lan. Many ISP's block port 80, something about code red blah blah blah. As far as a Dyndns client, there are several for *nix machines on their server, you have to set up a cron job in most cases. In terms of a frontend for Apache, I am only aware of webmin, but I have not looked for others (Sourceforge?). It is available as an RPM on the Mandrake CDs or urpmi webmin. Brian
