Ok thanks for the replies. 

I added a line to my Windows HOSTS file that points
darkhandofpooh.servebbs.org to my 192.168.xx.xxx address.

So Now I *CAN* access the BBS  via Firefox, telnet and FTP using
darkhandofpooh.servebbs.org

WooHoo.

But isnt that because when I added that line to the hosts file I am
tricking my local computer with that one line I added?  

I still can't access the BBS by typing the external IP ( like what
shows up when I go to  whatismyip.com) 

According to thr DynDNS auto update app my current Dynamic IP is
208.126.52.202

I took my PC out of the DMZ now too.  It was only in the DMZ about 6
hours while I was  testing all this stuff. I hope now that it is in
the firewall again the BBS is still able to be found.
