OK, I just tried it from my office, and got the same problem.  I 
modified my mythweb.conf at home and put in:
    setenv hostname <blah>.dyndns.org

I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" after I enter my 
username/password, and my machine's access_log shows:
155.178.180.5 - hdevine [01/Apr/2008:07:46:14 -0400] "GET /mythweb 
HTTP/1.1" 301 339 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 
5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)".  Nothing is shown in the 
error log.  So I'm missing SOMETHING, but I don't really know what it is.

Any ideas?
Harry
