Hello,

Recently I experienced a slowing startup of KDE applications.
Even worse, my friends cannot ping my public IP or access the
www.mywebsite.com.

I checked the validity of my router, adsl modem and
they are OK. For my NIC, I suspect it is not good but I have
no data supporting my judgement, the browsing of some website
is not slow, and I can access my website quickly from within
the LAN. So I would think that my FQDN is bad.

Owing to the configuration of a dynamic DNS for my website,
maybe I unnecessarily did some bad thing(s):

/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
61.170.245.55 www.mywebsite.com mywebsite.com

/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=www.mywebsite.com

/etc/resolv.conf:
domain mywebsite.com
search mywebsite.com
nameserver IP_OF_ISP_NAME_SERVER
nameserver NAME_OF_DYNAMIC_DNS_PROVIDER_NAME_SERVER

/etc/host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on

I have also made changes to my sendmail configurations
related to domain, but that shouldn't impact the problems
here, I think.

Your input are highly appreciated!
Wenjie
