Hostname and Server Name

[Birt, Jeffrey]

Janu,

Does your DSL service provide a static IP?  (Mine does not.) What is
this IP?  Can you see your server from the outside world using the IP?

Subject: Hostname and Server Name

Hello,
I am trying to setup a server which should provide services as a
webserver , email server , ftp server .I have registered a domain for
myself and it is something like www.domain.com .Now when I setup Fedora
3 , and assign static ip address , is hostname something I should not
worry about can I type something I like? .What is server name ?, I typed
servername in HTTP configuration ,and when I tried to access the server
from another comp using the servername it did not work it works only
through ip address.

Am I doing something wrong here ?
