Can you ping google.com? Code: ping -c4 google.com If not, do you use the correct network settings in /etc/network/interfaces? Do you use the correct gateway?

tracert6 is an IPv6 diag tool ... if you don't have an AAAA record in your dns it won't work use tracert
Because of the problems I have seen with people upgrading from a working 11.04 to 12.04 I reinstalled 11.04. I gave up on bingftp.com and started from scratch. I purchased a new domain, akbpro.com -nameservers are with underpricedhost.com I followed the the perfect server ubuntu 11.04.using server1.akbpro.com I did not do the additional notes about VPSID. I have no idea if I have a virtual machine or what my VPSID is or how to find it. Anyway, after installing ispconfig3 the instructions state that I can go to https://server1.akbpro.com:8080- don't work! https://192.168.0.100:8080 works after I accept the cert. exception http://192.169.0.100/webmail also works but not http:// server1.akbpro.com/webmail or http://akbpro.com/webmail or http://www.akbpro.com/webmail. I double,tripled checked every instruction to be sure I did not have any typo errors. I seem to be the only one with this problem? What am I missing? Ping -c4 google.com works fine tracert in ubuntu does not work. I did tracert for the CMD prompt on both server1.akbpro.com and akbpro.com the result of the tracert ended at 208.68.32.146 which is an OPENDNS address. My Dlink router is set at it's default as is my windows local area connections for IPv4. I haven't messed with any bind files or resolv.conf to set up any DNS. Please help. This driving me absolutely NUTS! I must be missing something real basic.
These are all DNS problems. You either need to create DNS records for akbpro.com, www.akbpro.com, and server1.akbpro.com, or you change your client PC's hosts file: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432&highlight=hosts+file+windows
I had previously said I was missing something basic. Boy was I right and also was I dumb. I had the wrong concept of a server, thinking it would host my domain. You said my problems were all DNS problems. That got me to thinking. I needed to have my domain hosted before I could take care of the "DNS problems". Once done--- no more problems. Thanks for all your help.
With my registrar:- how do I set up Dns zones for server1.akbpro.com ? I went ahead and used Ubantu 12.04 I realize that FQDN is server1.akbpro.com. ending with a dot root@server1:~# dig server1.akbpro.com ; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> server1.akbpro.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9388 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;server1.akbpro.com.
