Linux and Putty question

[LiNuX]

Thanks, everything seems to be working fine, kinda disappointed that I can't see server logs unless I close the server and open the file, but all well.

One more question, is there a way to change my External IP for just my Server? I tried goggling, but couldn't find anything, or is proxying really the only way?

Is this a home machine? If you're on a home network, then your ISP probably just gave you one IP address, in that case, you can't really change it. But if you own an IP somewhere, you can set up an 'a-record' and basically point to your current IP. It's easier than I make it sound and pretty much what I do. 'A-records' are domain based, meaning i can setup something like game.gamers-forum.com to point to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and people will use it as game.gamers-forum.com.

Now if you have multiple external IPs from your ISP, then it's different.
