Dns

[SCHTUDE]

I have a website that I would like published. I have an IP address and my provider set my IP to resolve to a name that I gave him (example webfun.dummy.com). The problem is that there has to be a /directoryname put in after the webfun.dummy.com or else it can;t find the website. Does anyone know how to get the name I selected to route to the IP Address/directoryname ? The provider said he is trying to figure out how to put the /directoryname on the ebd of the IP address for DNS but he can't figure out how to do alpha characters. Can I just do something on my server? Thanks!

What are you running to serve as your web server? IIS?

Yep. IIS.

If I am understanding your problem correctly, you can clear it up by going into IIS, right clicking on your site and selecting 'Properties', click on the 'Home Directory' tab and select 'A reditection to a URL' for the content source.

The otehr option would be to use a meta refresh or another flavor of redirection such as header(Loction: xxx) in PHP or Response.Redirect in ASP VBS.

Hope this helps.
