Static IP and fully qualified domain names

[Peter Ulrich Kruppa]

Hi!

This question is inspired by a recent mail on this list.

My ISP was so nice to give me a domain name (pukruppa.net) and
assign it statically to an IP (213.146.114.24).
[So now everybody in the world can telnet pukruppa.net and crack
my private machine :-)  ]

>From reading manuals one should think, that now I could give my
machines names like one.pukruppa.net, two.pukruppa.net, etc...
and all these would be reachable via internet - but they aren't.
The only one that can be accessed is pukruppa.net .

How comes this?


Regards,

Uli.
