Need Basic Web "Host" Info -=- How To..

[hevnsnt]

Ok all, here is my setup, please dont flame, it supports what it needs to (most of the time)

Got a website [l]http://www.i-hacked.com[/l], running on my cable connection.. I have the domain registered and it points to www.myinternet.com which then forwards it on to my computer (an a lot of other very cool stuff check it out) Now my question is, whenever you hover over a link, in the status bar it shows http://myipaddress/blah.htm or whatever.. How do I make it show http://www.i-hacked.com/blah.htm.. ?? I am at a loss.. Please help

Well, if you're already with MyInternet, why not just use their MyDNS service and setup the Zone file to point directly at your domain?

That is what I thought.. but now the question is raised.. ?What?

May be it has to do with the setup of your account.

Take a look here:

Ok, here is myinterenet setup..

Using MyDNS on the domain, For Redirection I am using Stealth Redirection to http://MyIP/, and for subfile I am using http://i-hacked.com/other/directory directed to http://MyIP/other/directory.. I have www.i-hacked.com setup the same way..

 

[JackMDS]

Follow the link in my post, and read again what the stealth redirection does. You may be need Standard direction.

<< Standard Redirection sends your domain visitors to any website you specify. The true address of the destination website - not your domain name - will display in the viewer's browser. >>



That will show my IP in the address field as well as in the link(s)..

You don't want &quot;redirection&quot;, you want a zone file setting up DNS for your domain name. Do they let you do that? Setup zone files? Act as the DNS for your domain?

If so, you setup the file, then tell your registrar to change the primary and secondary name servers to whatever MyInternet gives you.

If they don't let you do that, then switch to a service that does, such as ZoneEdit.com.

Okay, after checking I see that they are already the DNS for your domain, so we're back to my original suggestion. Use their DNS service. GO HERE.

Russ, NCNE

 

[hevnsnt]

Arrrgh.. I dont get it.. I am using their DNS service..

 

[Russ]

Did you edit the zone file to setup A, CNAME and MX records? If not, you need to do that.

A little javascript onMouseover trick can do. Only catch is it only works with javascript-capable browser.

oh, btw, make sure your cable internet provider is happy about your setting up a server.


edit: actually you don't even need javascript. In your source code you use relative href (href=&quot;/gaming.htm&quotinstead of full address such as href=&quot;http://www.i-hacked.com/gaming.htm&quot;. This is the reason for IE displays your ip (because that's the only thing IE knows).
