yes you do.. either setup a dns server or use your ISP's, it depends if they let you or not..
the manuals you should be looking at are for "bind" or "dyndns" then you set your new dns server up to be the master for your domain name.. (your ISP will probably second it for you.) then anyone that does a lookup for that domain will get the IP from their dns which get it from a higher dns.. and so on and so on till it gets back to your dns server.. which tells them its your domain and gives the IP address you associated with it. so start looking into bind or dyndns. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kenn Murrah Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 1:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] somewhat OT: putting my server box on the Internet > in order > to serve your web pages > to the world, using Apache I presume, you should > have a static IP address > from your ISP.
