I have a small network at home-Linksys router, 2  XP machines and a
Fedora 3 box.
I installed Apache on the Linux machine and am serving a personal web
page. In the past I have  assigned a static IP to the Linux computer to
avoid the inevitable IP change when I reboot, or Comcast changes my IP.
Last  week, I noticed the site was down, and, upon checking, I noticed
that the Comcast nameservers had changed. I made the appropriate changes
and lost DNS on the web server. I.e, I can surf by IP number, but not by
name.
I have checked and changed this setup several times to no avail. No
matter what I do, I can't surf by site name on the Linux machine. No
problem when I switch back to DHCP. The web site is being served as usual.
Just when I thought I was starting to understand this stuff...
What am I overlooking?
TIA.
