However, if you're trying to get an address like... www.mydomain.com to point to your IP, you can easily do it. This is an alias. You can use a dynamic DNS service (dyndns.org) or buy your own domain and use a service like ZoneEdit.

Alias (A) is Name -> IP
Pointer (PTR) is IP -> Name

Alias is doable, PTR is not.

Nothing screams "I'm running a server" more loudly than a DNS entry for your IP address.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18447852 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 16:13:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18447832 seagreen : No, you can't assign a name to your static IP address. If you enter it here if will probably show up as part of an IP block that Hughes owns.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18447832 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 16:10:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18447604 jahern : Is there a way to assign a name to my static IP number? I assume it's something that goes in a DNS server somewhere. Do I have to buy a domain name, or can it be me.hughesnet.com or whatever? Thanks, again. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18447604 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 15:29:54 EDT
