Need more information.
How are you connected to the internet? DSL or cable modem?
Is there a router between you and your internet device?
Are you using server or server/gateway configuration?
Do you have a static or dynamic IP?

Have you set www.dokx.ath.cx to your IP with your registrar?

I just checked your domain name at www.dnsstuff.com. and it gives me an IP of 208.38.67.251. If I try to brows to that IP, I see a folder called jinzora2. Is that what you have there? If so, you have no index.html file there, and will need one to redirect to the jinzora2 folder.

Is it the same as I found?
There is normally no need to change the host or dns settings setting on your server.

I would also suggest upgrading to SME 7.0 final when you get this worked out.

Yes its the ip address and its the folder jinzora2, Should i reinstall the html file back to its location? Thank you DOKX

If i drop the www and try just dokx.ath.cx, It takes me to the same location as using the ip.

You will need to create a small html file that will get you to the jinzora2 folder. Do a little searching on the web for a redriction script.

Did you enable wldcards for your domain name at dyndns? If you do, that may allow you to use the www.

Try this

Quote

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=jinzora2/" />
    <title></title>
  </head>
</html>

use this code to create a file called index.html

It should take care of the redirection.

good luck

Bob

ps. this file has to go in the html folder

There are a number of good inexpencive services out there. I use domainsmadeeasy.com. For a "com" domain they are about $9.00 USD per year.

For the record.... If you want to avoid using html redirection scripts try using files only (without jinzora folder). Don't know if you have a specific reason to keep it in your folder but just so you know.  :)

Thank you again CrazyBob.

The problem i ran into with jinzora was that when i unpacked all the files to just the html folder jinzora was telling me that it wasnt seeing some of the templates and after uninstalling and reinstalling jinzora a half dozen times the only way to get it to install correctly was to upload the whole jinzora file irself then jinzora would install and run, Thank you  DOKX
