Subdomain redirect problems... weird

[kenfused]

Subdomain redirect problem... site not resolved?
I put an .htaccess file in a directory 216.111.111.11/~username/test with the contents:

Redirect / [cnn.com...]

When I go to http:/216.111.111.11/~username/test

It goes to

[cnn.com...]

WHY does the "~username/test/" get stuck on the redirected URL? Is this because my domain has not resovled yet?

No, that's how the Redirect directive works. You may want to use RedirectMatch instead. See Apache mod_alias [httpd.apache.org] for more info.
