gnopernicus and slackware

[seth creature]

Hi all!  Got two questions, one's about dns on my home network, while all 
my machines can be pinged by ip or host, and I'm behind an actiontec dsl 
router.  I am curious how I can make my machines accessible outside the 
network.
The other question is, now that I am sure I have X configured to run 
without crashing, and flite working can someone who is running gnopernicus 
on slackware 10.1 help me off list with some troubleshooting?
Thanks bunches!

Cheereo!
