IE pointing foo.rnwood.co.uk at my ASDL IP address. (Someone asked me this today so I thought I'd add it here)

Quick steps:
- Register with no-ip.com and install one of the clients to update you ip address whenever it changes. (Say we pick foo.no-ip.com).

- Check foo.no-ip.com resolves to the right address.

CODE

nslookup foo.no-ip.com

- Transfer your domain name to somewhere where you can actually make edits - www.mydomain.com and www.granitecanyon.com (both free).

- Add foo.rnwood.co.uk as a CNAME record pointing at foo.no-ip.com using the easy web interface.

- Check foo.rnwood.co.uk resolves to the right address

CODE

nslookup foo.rnwood.co.uk
