OT: can someone check this server?...

| I am attempting to run a server, but since I am inside my network, at
present I am unable to test if it is accessible from the outside (trying to
access my public ip, it seems I just get the "inside" portion of my router,
which isn't that useful).
hostname: cr88192.dyndns.org
to test thus far:
http, hopefully should be something (eg: the apache test page);
ftp, just need to check if working;
ssh, username: tempuser, password: tempuser.
I guess possible:
I can be emailed with any results (note: may need to alter reply email
addr);
a text file can be left in the user's home directory, leaving any useful
comments or such.
if one has success with all these, maybe they can leave a response here (if
someone is successful, that is good enough, I don't need that much more...).

I was *not* able to access the http or ftp at cr88192.dyndns.org
Here is what I get with ftp command on winxp
C:\>ftp cr88192.dyndns.org
Connected to cr88192.dyndns.org.
Connection closed by remote host.
C:\>
It does says 'connected', I dont know what it means.
I tried pinging the server, it translated to IP 202.131.179.211, but no
ping replies (it could be a firewall too).

ps. For a simple website, I would rather recommend a free service like
www.geocities.com

If you don't have an outside machine you can send requests from
w3.org has an html validator that can be used to test HTTP servers.
i forget the exact last time I tried it accepted ip addresses if you don't
have a domain name yet.
Bye.

luckily, I have a domain name, via dyndns.
problem is then getting it up and running.
another idea that came up was adding another router in the mix, to
effectively "simulate" an outside connection. problem is that I would need
to get to this (and risk temporarily interfering with the internet usage of
everyone else where I live...).
