Help moving from local lan to internet

[Ed Pigg]

Hi all. Please be kind. Help.

I have been using a server to develop on and am prepared to move to the 
internet. I orginally set up the server on a 192.168.x.x network and 
have been using it for about a month. I want to move it to the internet 
and am having trouble configuring the network manually.

I set the ip address with subnet mask and default router in 
/etc/rc.conf. I edited /etc/resolv.conf and changed the name servers to 
the correct name server address.

Now when the server starts it hangs for aboutn 5 minutes when the 
"starting sshd" message is displayed. I can ping the name servers, but 
nslookup times out when querying well known web sites. I must have 
overlooked something or left something out? Any help appreciated.
