I pointed the primary and secondaries at the ones from the cablemodem.  I am
still waiting for internic to change my IP address of my master domain.  I
followed a PDF artical on setting up your A records a PTRs, not really
understanding it very well.  My claim to fame is getting Sygate working in
our office...

I presumed at the very least, prior to my domain name activation, I could
just type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and get the main page if nothing else, but
I couldn't even get that. <feeling sheepish here>

No, I plugged the cablemodem into the primary and my network hub into the
secondary, presuming two ports was a physician isolation feature, similar to
what Sygate does.
