If I understood what you said properly ... You need to set up an alias with godaddy.com. www., ftp., etc aren't just automatically appended to your domain; you need to explicitly choose which machine names will resolve, and where they will go to. You probably want to set things up such that www.mydomain.com points to your debian-dimension machine. I recommend calling up your godaddy tech support folks and finding out how to set this up. -- monique Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please don't email me directly.
