having trouble with web site and resolving a host

[Scott Berry]

Right I am trying to get the site where other people can see it Tim.  The 
reason I have 21 open is beyond me I boobooed there it should have been 
ports 22 and 23 for sftp and ssh.  So I will have to fix that tomorrow.  I 
have another guy who needs to access the server from out of my state.
