I am not sure whether this is the right place to post. If not, sorry for
the OT.

I had a small token ring network setup at home connection to a bell DSL
provider through machine A (running redhat 7.3). Machine A also hosts a
webserver and smtp server. I am also using ddclient to map the dynamic
ip to a fixed host name through dyndns (host name: wgemini.homeip.net).
Everything worked fine.

Due to a problem with my work vpn network (it doesn't work with token
ring), I purchased a smc 7004vbr router and reconfigure the network. Now
I still have the server on machine A, but it is connected to the router
instead of the DSL modem. I also punched several port open through
virtual server on the router. Here is the weird thing, I can't talk to
my server through wgemini.homeip.net on any machines on my intranet
anymore (either connect through token ring or directly to the router).
Instead, I have to specify the internal ip (192.168.2.5) for machine A
to get through. However, anybody outside can connect to the server
without any problem. Any suggestions?

Here's my current network.

Oh, BTW, I can ping wgemini.homeip.net from Machine A, B, C, D without
any problem. I just can't connect to it (www, telnet, ftp, etc..) Always
say connection refused. Firewall on the router is disabled, and firewall
on Machine A has the correct setting and didn't log such incoming
connections.

The SMC does not likely loopback internal, external, internal. Either set
up local DNS pointing the name(s) to your LAN IP or make similar entries
in /etc/hosts or \windows\hosts of any local clients. Linux firewalls may
have similar problem since a private IP attempting to come in through an
external interface may be considered spoofing (fake).
