Right, that part's all set, I just need to be able to put
"mail.striplin.com" in the POP3 and SMTP server sections in the email
clients. Currently the only way to make it work is to use the 192.168.*
address. Same thing for http - www.striplin.com doesn't work from inside my
network, only from outside.

I suspect there's a way to make this work without turning on DNS on the
Qube - maybe with an lmhosts file or something? This has gotta be a FAQ
somewhere, I just can't seem to find it!
