Thank you for the warm responses about helping. 
Okay, here we go. As I had mentioned earlier, I can access my web server by 
ip but not name. Below is info from various files. Please let me know what 
the &$@$!#* I'm doing wrong. My server ip address is 50.0.97.146, I'm using a 
local isp but looks like they utilize sonic.net & dsltransport.net If I do 
nslookup of my ip from another computer I get:

gnomad@dales-hp-laptop:~$ nslookup 50.0.97.146
Server:        74.207.247.4
Address:    74.207.247.4#53

146.97.0.50.in-addr.arpa    name = 50-0-97-146.static.dsltransport.net.

And my firewall is not blocking port 53, but I hadn't forwarded it, as I've 
read this is only necessary if I have a DNS (though I did open it tonight but 
no change). And from what I see in my syslog below, it seems that zone info 
is coming in:

 
Jan 16 17:02:55 server named[2765]: zone ./IN: Transfer started.
Jan 16 17:02:55 server named[2765]: transfer of './IN' from 75.127.96.89#53: 
connected using 192.168.1.123#60375
Jan 16 17:02:56 server named[2765]: zone ./IN: transferred serial 2012011700
Jan 16 17:02:56 server named[2765]: transfer of './IN' from 75.127.96.89#53: 
Transfer completed: 2 messages, 3490 records, 87716 bytes, 0.760 secs (115415 
bytes/sec)


 Also wanted to add that when I tried to enter ns2.freespeech.free I got an 
error when restarting bind, so I've left it out (something on the line of 
"ns2.freespeech.free.freespeech.free not found/valid).

Let me know if anything else is needed,

Dale
