   Ok thanks for the replies.    
      
   I added a line to my Windows HOSTS file that points   
   darkhandofpooh.servebbs.org to my 192.168.xx.xxx address.   
      
   So Now I *CAN* access the BBS  via Firefox, telnet and FTP using   
   darkhandofpooh.servebbs.org   
      
   WooHoo.   
      
   But isnt that because when I added that line to the hosts file I am   
   tricking my local computer with that one line I added?     
      
   I still can't access the BBS by typing the external IP ( like what   
   shows up when I go to  whatismyip.com)    
      
   According to thr DynDNS auto update app my current Dynamic IP is   
   208.126.52.202   
      
   I took my PC out of the DMZ now too.  It was only in the DMZ about 6   
   hours while I was  testing all this stuff. I hope now that it is in   
   the firewall again the BBS is still able to be found.
