Weird problem with my website *RESOLVED*

[engineereeyore]

I'm having some weird problem with my website. You can get to it with either the URL (www.themuppetfamily.com) or the IP address. However, my favicon.ico only appears if you use the IP address, not if you use the URL. Also, my wife just signed up with youtube to do videos on her blog. I had to give it the API URL and that only worked if I gave it the IP address. I just got an error if I put the URL in.

Is it something in my webserver? I'm using Apache, but I haven't found any support on this topic. Any help would be appreciated.

First, is this server on your home network AND are you diagnosing these problems from only one computer? Also check your DNS server to see if everything is configured correctly.

Yep, just got it to work. To answer your questions, yes, it is a home server, but I have it at my office right now with a static IP address. To fix the problem, I had to go to godaddy.com and change the 'A' entry on the DNS entry to the IP address of my computer. Before, I was just using the forwarding setup. Apparently something in that doesn't not forward everything. Once I changed the entry in the DNS file everything started working, well, a few hours later when it updated.

Thanks for the help though.
