Nalle

Now, this takes a bit of explaining.
I borrowed s sub-domain of eller.no, making my machine nalle.eller.no with a MX-record on eller.no's server. I have an ADSL conneciton.
There I had a mail service running with hostname nalle, and domain eller.no. That made sendmail automaticcaly accept the mail for nalle.eller.no. No configuring required, really.
I bought myself my own domain, nalle.no. My ISP is providing MX-records for nalle.no, together with a static IP-address (for a fee, I'm not _that_ lucky). Now my computers hostname (I _do_ need one) is nalle, and the domain is nalle.no. That makes sendmail accept mail for nalle.nalle.no, and _not_ nalle.no. I've got MX-records for nalle.no and there's none out there for nalle.nalle.no.
The result of that is that I'm no longer able to recieve mail. I can send, since I use my ISP's SMTP-server.
All the other services (ssh/ftp/http) are working perfectly for nalle.no.
Now for my question:
How do I configure my macine (sendmail or network setup, I suppose) to make sendmail accept mail for nalle.no?
This is a hard one, I think 'cos I've used quite a bit of time to figure it out before I came to you, and I'm not even close.
It even took a while till I'd figured out what the problem really was.
I'm hoping somone here can push me in the right direction.
