Home Webserver - Setting up DNS Help..
I have set up my home webserver using windows 2008 and can see the websites from my side of the fence.
When I attempt to log on via the internet, using my domain name, it looks at though the page simply times out.
If I ping my domain name from an external machine I get the IP address of my static line. My domain name is hosted by another company say XZY and I use their name servers NS1.XYZ and NS2.XYZ with my Static IP address, is this correct, or do I have to point to Plus nets name servers etc to get service?
I have turned off firewalls & setup port forwarding on my router, but can't see my sites from the internet.
Any suggestions/hints would be appreciated on how to get www.adhereo.co.uk to work..
Thanks in advance Ian..

Thanks for the replies so far, but I still can't figure out the DNS side of it. My domain name is hosted by Fasthosts and I am using their DNS nameservers.
I have simply pointed their DNS Host name to my static ip provided by Plusnet. I don't want to transfer my domain name(s), as I have other domains at Fasthosts
(and plus net charge more for theirs!!). Plus net appear to have a DNS option, but as I said it appears I would I have to move registrars..
I didn't realise the adhereo.co.uk domain is pointed to ianwhittaker.plus.net, so I suppose this is down to Plus.net DNS system?
Can anyone tell me how they have setup a hosted website from home, using plus net (& static ip) or should I look for another ISP??

The address I gave isn't working which suggests that you have a problem with your router/firewall/webserver. (ianwhittaker.plus.com is responding to pings)
