    Hello all,
     
    What I am trying to do and my setup is as follows.
     
    Comp1: Suse Linux 9.0 and Apache 2, samba etc
         Mainly setup to be a server for http and storage space
     
     
    Comp2: Windows XP
         General use and gaming
     
    Both computers are connected to a router and then into my broadband ISP
    which has a static IP address. The router is currently setup to
    portforward ssh and http requests to Comp1.
     
    I just registered a domain name with my ISP. Don't want to give the
    exact one out so we will use mynewserver.com.
     
    Using dig and whois I can see that the domain is listed as being owned
    by my ISP and their nameservers are shown for it as well.
     
    I want to be able to use the domain name to allow friends and family to
    connect to my web server. Meaning they only have to type in
    www.mynewserver.com <http://www.mynewserver.com/> and voila welcome to
    my website.
     
    I can currently access the website with no problems at all by using the
    numeric IP address.
     
    My question to the list, since my ISP "doesn't offer support for linux
    servers" and try to hang up extremely fast right after they ask which OS
    I am using, is do I need to do anything in the way of running a
    nameserver on my Comp1 to update my ISP's nameserver so that they will
    point to me or should this be something that my ISP is supposed to do?
     
    If I am supposed to be running the nameserver on my end, can someone
    please point me to a guide or something that is fairly simple and
    straightforward on setting one up?
     
    Many many thanks in advance,
    IK Harrell
