Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] More off-topic network issues...

Richard,

You can serve web without serving domain names. If you try setting up 
Linux or BSD on the PC or the Mac, you will hopefully note that there are 
servers for all sorts of things that seem to be collected under one 
umbrella on the Mac: printer server, file servers for all sorts of file 
systems, time server, ftp server, http server, domain name server, etc. 
For the Mac to serve web to your PC by domain names, you need to get a 
domain name server function set up and running on the Mac.

By the way, check your back doors before you run live on the web. That 
is, make sure you know what servers are running, what they serve, and the 
possible security holes they open; and then make sure you don't use any 
easy to guess passwords on any service that can access your settings or 
write programs or data that might end up looking like programs to the 
system.
