You need a DNS name server that's authorative for your domain.

Go to www.zoneedit.com. Create a free account and add your domain to
it. Configure your domain with the ip address of your web server.
You will be given the names of the primary and secondary name servers
for that domain.

Go back to your domain name registrar and configure your domain with
the name servers that you got from zoneedit.com.

Wait 24 to 72 hours for the dns info to propogate the internet. Don't
expect your name to reliably resolve to your ip address until after
that time.

Thanx for your reply. You have been very helpful. I'll remember about
zoneedit and try and simplify things by getting my web server up and
running, and using dyndns and see where I go from there :)
