Topic: help with 1and1

[rusty_nerd]

Hi, I have had a domain with 1and1 and I am haveing difficulty in getting everything fowarding to my server at home. I set up a dummy domain through dyndns and this works perfectly but when I come to 1and1 it seems very complicated and there support are sending me round circles. I am more then sure it is some thing I am not doing. Would some one kindly point out a few steps to set up 1and1 to point all requests for my domain name to my server and not 1and1. Cheers.

With godaddy I use their DNS servers and point the host @ to my dynamic IP address that I have from my ISP. I don't bother w/ dyndns. I would guess 1 and 1 would have something similar...

Cheers for the reply, I used dyndns for testing my server as 1and1 was not working. There are some settings in 1and1 that are confusing me and not sure what to do really, thats all and was just wandering if anyone else use or have used them and maybe show me a few steps. For instance I think I have set up the domain to relate to me ip but when you type in the domain it goes to the right location but has the ip as the url.

You should set your dns records to point to your dns provider. I use zoneedit.com for dns so i have set my records to ns1.zoneedit.com and then registered at ze. Then just point the correct records to you server.
