Website won't load with 'WWW'

Ok...so I'm hosting a site for my wifes kindergarten class and all is good except if you put 'www' before the address...it doesn't find the site! It loads fine as long as you have no 'www'...but this could potentially confuse parents so, what can I do to fix it?

I'm using Server 2003 -> the site is using my ip address via myftp.com (just redirecting the address to the servers IP addy.
 
Create a second "A" record in your public DNS records that points to the IP address of your web site. Right now, you apparently have an "A" record for mydomain.com, but none for www.mydomain.com .

A----www.mydomain.com----71.xxx.xxx.xxx

Oh, yeah...it's been a while.
You'll also have to add www.mydomain.com as a host header in the list of host names allowed by your web server.

For IIS, it'd be something like:
IP address = xxx.xxx.xxx (whatever IP address your server is using to host your web site
Host Header = www.mydomain.com
Port = 80
