what do the logs say?  if they aren't enough, you could use recordio
to find out what actually goes over the wire, as well as tcpdump.
then you might try another browser:  lynx sends HTTP/1.0 AFAIK, and
other browsers allow 1.1.

what about your dynamic IP<->symlink hack?  could it be working by the
time you telnet into the machine, but not until some time has passed?

you got disconnected?  oh, my ...  some ISPs just don't know about
