Title: DNS service
Post by: Mack on November 08, 2001, 11:47:00 PM

I\'m trying to connect to another pc using a dns service specifically dnsart.com and I don\'t have a  clue of how to start.  My ip address is dynamic.  I have installed the client sofware on the host pc.  and I tried to keyin my hostname.dnsart.com from another computer in the web browser to see what happens.  I know it\'s got to be a little more complicated than that.  Can anyone help.  ? Thanks

How are you tring to connect to the PC?  are you trying to pulll down a web page?  if so you\'ll need  to be running a web service.  a great one to start with can be found at www.analogx.com. it\'s called simple server.  i recommend apache, www.apache.org, once you get stuff figured out. both are free.  if you\'re trying to ftp, you\'ll need an ftp service running.  regardless how you\'re trying to connect, you\'ll need the correpsonding service running on the distant end.  hope this helps.
