I can not get my domain FQDM

[Al1937]

I have a registered domain, call it xxx.com.
I it is setup with nameserver
ns1everydns.com
ns2everydns.com
My router is set to
DNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

The Dell computer I am trying to set up Ubunto is named "mailserver".
During installation I use mailserver.xxx.com

I have searched google for detailed instructions to have a domain FQDN- can not find anything but bits and pieces.

There is a thread here on how to do a domain registered with godaddy. Very detailed.
I just might need a new domain and register it with godaddy.
BUT, I sure would like to know how to do it with any other registrar.

I am brand new and need help.

Completed Ubuntu 9.0.4 installation.
No more quota problem.

http://192.168.1.100/webmail
and
http://192.168.1.100:8080
WORK!

But http://mailserver.xxx.com/webmail
and
http://mailserver.xxx.com:8080
NO NOT.
I must be getting close. Instead of a 404 I get
"Server taking to long to respond"

I desperately need someone to walk me through how to
make one of my registered domain a Fully Qualified Domain Name. Please.

[Al1937]

Whoo! Excuse me please.
In my thread I have been using xxx.com to denote as "Unknown".com but xxx.com turns out to be a real adult site.

Is there a way to delete these threads? I will resubmit using "unknown".com

What's the output of

netstat -tap

? Does your router forward the ports 80 and 8080 to your ISPConfig server?

Is my ispconfig server 192.168.1.100?

I have a linksys router , where 8080 is disabled- Do I enable it? I did.

Forward UPnP
Pop3 80 80 192.196.1.100 enabled
Custom
ispconfg-tcp 8080 8080 tcp 192.168.1.100 enabled
ispconfg-upd 8080 8080 upd 192.168.1.100 enabled


When I try to connect to either ispconfig or webmail using akbnet.albertbrinson
I get
Network Timeout
The server at akbnet.albertbrinson.com is taking too long to respond.

Doing a tracert on akbnet.albertbrinson I get
akbnet.albertbrinson.com (67.215.66.132)
After 13 hops It times out all the way

A ping on akbnet.albertbrinson results in no connection.

This is what I get when I try to resolve your hostname:

mh1:~# dig akbnet.albertbrinson.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> akbnet.albertbrinson.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
mh1:~#

It seems as if there's a problem with the nameservers.

[Al1937]

My linksys router is set up to use opendns
DNS1 208.67.222.222
DNS2 208.67.220.220

Domain Name: ALBERTBRINSON.COM

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.EVERYDNS.NET
NS2.EVERYDNS.NET

I will change the nameserver and try again.


I finally realized what a FQDN is.
Let me know if this is right.

computer_name.registered_domain_name.com (or .net or .tv or .whatever can be used)

I thought it would be something more complex and requiring special setting.

Yes, that's right.
