Hi everyone, I've had experience with web development, using Apache, IIS, etc, and also have experience with basic networking. I have recently set up a website using Apache Webserver, with phpnuke, a content management system. Heres my problem: I registered a domain name for the site with Godaddy.com, and set it to forward the domain to the location of the site (http://myip/nuke/index.php). This went fine until I realized that users using Internet Explorer could not log in unless their cookie settings were set to low. I did some reseach on the problem and found out that because I was using domain masking, the cookies used for logging in were not being set correctly. An easy solution to this would be to just turn off the domain masking, but I don't really like the idea of my ip being broadcasted over the address bar. So then I thought, why not use the DNS server with Windows Server 2003, and set up the domain to point to the ip. Problem is, after installing it and looking through it, I'm afraid I've found myself completely confused by what I have to do to set this up. I don't fully understand the concept of setting up the domain with DNS etc. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me to set this up. Also, I have another question: Say I do get it set up and I have my domain set up to point to my ip, then how do I get it to load my website? Most pages I have noticed if you enter in the ip into the browser it loads the page, but on my webserver you have to type in my ip/the directory. Why is this? Thanks for the help
