Well, my answer to that is that the cable modem that I have uses DHCP to asign the IP, however, my IP address itself has never changed, so it appears to be acting as if it were static. Any ideas?

Probably best to contact the people you registered the domain with and get them to point it to your IP address. But I'd check to see if it's static first.

If you're absolutely certain that your IP address doesn't change (most cable providers do change them periodically), then you can notify the registrar of your domain name of that IP address. Registrars will handle the DNS for you.

Sign up to www.mydomain.com and set up a MyDomain Plus account for your domain (tis free). Get your domain to point its DNS record to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com. Then in Mydomain.com point the domain to your IP.
You can set up all sorts of subdomains with mydomain.com as they will act as your DNS servers.

I use www.dyndns.org with a custom domain to do more or less the same thing.
It works well.
And that will work even if your IP address does change.

Thanks everyone, I wanted to get the site up quickly, so I just *switched* my configuration from DHCP to static and bought the Advanced DNS Management package from Verisgn. Thanks for all the tips though.

Anyone know how I can go about making it so my sister can't turn off the auto-shutoff of the monitor?
I'm tired of her keeping her monitor on 24/7 because she wants to waste electricity and generate heat.
She's using a PC made from my spare parts for those worried about the ethics 
TIA,
James

Depends on your version of Windows. First Make sure the Auto Shut-Off option is enabled. Then try running (Start->Run) gpedit.msc . If the group policy editor comes up open
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Display. Set the option that hides the ScreenSaver tab.
If Windows doesn't know what you're talking about you're probably out of luck. At least I can't think offhad of an easy way to do this..

Thanks, that did the trick; now I have to put up with her complaining; but that won't last for long

Sorry, but I don't think there's an option to disable that! Maybe in the next version

She likes the screensaver, right???
I had that problem with my little sister... She left the monitor on constantly because the screensaver was "cool"
ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

That is what was weird; she turned her screensaver off after a week so it was only showing her desktop (a picture of some flowers).
Surprisingly she hasn't complained yet; I made the change while she was at a friends house then I went and told my dad so if she had any problems she could speak to him about it. I don't think he was too happy to find out she left her monitor on 24/7.
Finally, I can sleep in a somewhat darkened house

Auditconfig should work on both of those anyway.

Hi all,
I have been able to install linux 7.2 on my PC.
But I face the following problems.
1. With boot time I don't see window OS option, the only option which appear is a line "Red Hat linux (2.4.7-10).
What have I missed during installation and how I can solve this problem.
2. My keyboard doesn't match what I type e.g. if I want to type "/", instead "&" appears. Where and how to correct keyboard settings?
3. I am using DHCP server for internet connection and during "Network configuration" process I clicked the check boxes "Configure using DHCP" and "Activate on boot".
It does not work either. How to solve this.
These are the problems I am facing right now, more may apprea on the way.
I am sorry if these questions sound you very basic.
thanks
regards

Hi again,
I forgot one more question.
If because of some reason I need to uninstall Linux and go back to my previous WinXP OS, how to do that?

If you have two partitions on your hard drive, the install should of gave you the option to choose which partition to install on (it's been awhile since I'v done it so it may have changed). I'v always used partition magic to set up my partitions with out losing Windows partition. Check out the linux documentation project website for more info. Look for the lilo documentation. You can edit the lilo.conf and configure it to give you options of what partition to boot.

I'm not sure about this as I have had no problems there but the linux documentation project site can help you there.

Are you using a lan or a dialup connection?
To uninstall linux from your second partition use partition magic to do that. Simply delete the linux partition and resize the windows to partition to use all available disk space. It's the only way I know of to do that without losing your windows partition other than the slow complete backup of your hard drive.
Sorry I couldn't help you any more - It's been awhile since I have done the install but I always fall back on the documentation project site most of the time. The Linux Documentation Site is located at http://www.tldp.org/

Hi Jay,
Thanks for reply.
1. I have only only one disk drive i.e. C: with 30 GB and I chose automatic partition and followed the instruction given in redHat book and hoped all should be done automatically. I didn't use Lilo rather used GRUB.
Further, what is partition magic? I didn't encounter this during my installation process. Is it some tool to run during installation, how and when to run? Is it late for me to run this tool?
Now how I can solve my problem of dual boot when I have installed linux with only disk driver?
2. I am not using dial-up connection rather I connect to a server via Breadband.
3. May be it would be better for me to uninstall linux and restart the process again.
How magic would help me in this regard?
thanks in advance
regards

Partition Magic is a commercial program that can resize and move partitions without destroying the data on them. It's not part of Red Hat Linux or Windows. Exactly what installation options did you choose (Server, Workstation or Custom)?
GRUB configuration is changed by editing the /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
You can change the keyboard settings by running the "setup" program (from the command line as root) and choosing "keyboard configuration".
