I'm guessing Chrome is trying to lookup up domainname.com, failing, and then sticking a "www" in front of it to see if that works instead. > Using IE : it takes me to Bing/Google and searches for the keyword.

Assuming my guesses are correct: There needs to be a DNS A record for <domainname.com.>. That A record should have the IP address of a web server. That web server, upon receiving a request for <http://domainname.com/>, should issue an HTTP redirect to <http://www.domainname.com/>. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
