Thanks Lyle for the offer. Actually, I would very much appreciate if
you should me what to check so that I might do it myself. Although my
concern is in fact to get this configured, my goal is to learn and I'm
at a loss for which tools/commands to use to check that. How would you
go about it?

I assure you that a typo in the domain name or IP address is not the
issue, nor a missing period after the domain name. I've gone over
that!

No firewall at this stage.

Yes, of course, I have no illusions that they might be hidden!
