[cobalt-users] [Qube2] Dynamic DNS + Qube2 + RT314



Hello everyone,
(Warning: This is quite long)
I am having trouble with assigning my Dynamic DNS address to the Qube2,
which is behind a RT314 Cable/DSL router.
I have looked through the archives, but I believe I have deeper underlying
problem, which needs to be fixed in order for this to work.
First, some basic info:
I have a DynDNS address(example): example.dyndns.org
And I have single name as my hostname for my Qube2: bluesquare
I use two DNS servers from my ISP Blueyonder (example):    63.63.254.253
                    63.63.254.254
I have put the Qube into my SUA Server List and it is firewalled, using its
own firewall software.

First issue:
Regardless if it is in the SUA Server list or not, I cannot do an "nslookup"
to resolve addresses even though, every workstation behind the RT314 can
(one Linux & one Windows)
I have opened the firewall, to allow the Qube2 to connect to any server at
port 53.  Does the external nameserver connect to a port on the Qube2 below
1024 ?  If so, which one ?

Second issue:
I have filled out the Network form in the Cobalt GUI, and now my machine has
a really goofy hostname + domain-name.  In this case:
bluesquare.example.dyndns.org.blueyonder.co.uk
How can I fix that ?

Thanks for reading and I eagerly await your reply ;-)
