Hello, Thanks to some help from people on this list, I now have a script which posts my dynamic IP address to a web page. Works great; my cousin logged into my machine from her IRIX machine at the University
When accessing my web server from the Internet, friends enter the dotted-quad address in the browsers address bar and are able to browse my wwwroot. Works great. If xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx/~username is put in the address bar (replacing x's with dotted-quad address), the xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx/~username gets turned into hostname/~username and the browser tries to add .com or .edu or .net or whatever it thinks will work. My hostname is not registerd, so of course this doesn't work for internet users, although users on the LAN have no problem, because that hostname is recognized on the LAN and the domain completion is not done. The real question is: What is causing the dotted-quad to turn into a hostname? I suspect either something in my nameserver config, or something in the Apache config, but I'm not to sure where to start looking. Anyone out there have any clues?
