if you want to map ronin-tech.com to your machine with hn.org you need to do two things:
1) create a vanity account (hard nowadays, because hn is at the limit of its resources, but not impossible) - lets call it rt-vanity. once you have updated your ip with hn.org (there is a web page for this, a protocol description and iz-ipupdate.lrp package), rt-vanity.hn.org will map to your machine - you can test at this point. if 24.*.*.* is your ip address, than this part is working. 2) create a virtual domain account with hn.org and enter your ronin-tech.com domain. after you have updated your nameservers (this step you have done apparently), you must have your domain verified. only after your domain is verified (there were some problems with verification) can you insert ns-records to manage your domain. since you are doing a dynamic address mapping then you must add them according to the following schema: Example to map www.ronin-tech.com to a dynamic ip 24.*.*.*: Assuming rt-vanity.hn.org is a vanity account that maps to 24.*.*.* and gets updated regularly to reflect ip address changes: Rec FQDN - www.ronin-tech.com Rec Type - A Rec Value - rt-vanity.hn.org DynDNS - 1 :::: The one you enter here causes the record value to be the numerical ip address of the rt-vanity.hn.org (which is what your machine listens at). once you have one of these, you can always add CNAME records pointing to the ronin-tech.com record - this is what i do. you probably can also add more A records with DynDNS value 1. i have no idea what hn would prefer performancewise. after you are done, you can see if www.ronin-tech.com resolves to your machine. it takes a couple of minutes, then you can ping www.ronin-tech.com (on a winntserver it takes much longer than i am willing to wait so i usually reboot the machine) and see how it resolves. depending on your firewall configuration you may or may not be able to see your site in your browser. test from outside. the documentation on hn.org is somewhat cryptic, but it is there. hope this helps, kiril -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Erich Titl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Mittwoch, 30.
