Did you ISP add the domain to the DNS?
How about an example domain name?

Hi Dan and Gerald,
There isn't really a problem with a domain.
I'll try to explain more clearly with a simple example.
The offline raq has an ip 192.168.0.100
The gateway is 192.168.0.1 (the ip of the router).
Primary and Secondary NS are the ones from my ISP, those are correct and are
the same used on the pc's and/or in the router settings.
I telnet/ssh into the offline raq and su to root.
ping 216.109.117.108 (ip adres of yahoo.com) gives me a good reply, so the
net is reachable
ping www.yahoo.com (screen stalls until I press CRTL+C)

The purpose is not for people from outside my network to access the offline
cobalt. The purpose is for me to be able to wget, dig, ftp, mail etc from my
offline raqs towards the net. Like I said, just for dev purposes.

Thanks for the help
John
