I've done a little more experimenting.  When I'm accessing via my inside
machine, I'm connecting with http://blacksheep (the actual machine name with
name resolution coming from my host file on my Win2K client).  I cleared all
my logs and then clicked "Open Web" from FP client and opened
http://blacksheep and it was successful.  There was nothing in my error log
and the following was in my access log:

Next, I established a VPN connection through my work which changes the IP
address of my Win 2K client at home and forces all traffic out through work,
through the Internet, back in through my router, and to my Apache server.  I
verified this with a trace route.  I was able to connect successfully in
this manner to http://kitchentable.dynip.com.  My access log was basically
the same as above (the IP address reflected my VPN connection) and there was
nothing in my error log.

Finally, I connected to my PC at work via PC-Duo (like vcn, open FP on that
PC, and then tried to connect to my Apache server at
http://kitchentable.dynip.com.  It failed as I described in my previous
messages.  There are no new entries in either the access log or the error
log.  The only difference between my home client (the one that works) and my
work client (the one that doesn't) is that at home I am running Win2K server
and at work I have Win2K Professional.  Both versions of FP are from the
Office 2000 CD and were install from the exact same CD.

So any other ideas?  I really appreciate your time looking into this.

Thanks,

Drew
