Domain Help with New Website

[Killraven]

Hello,

I am helping a friend set up his website and I've run into a problem. He registered a domain and I had it point to his IP address for the webhost. Here is the problem, no matter what page you are browsing, the Address in the browser says the home site.

For example:

Let's say the homesite is

http://www.mysite.com

If you are on the news page, the browser should say

http://www.mysite.com/news.htm.

Instead it still says

http://www.mysite.com.

There are no frames in the site, and if I use the IP, it shows the subpages just fine. Has anyone ever run across this? He is using a webhosting service and they have not been very helpful.

Thanks!

I have seen this fuction with

http://www.domaindirect.com

's service. They call it URL Keeper or something like that. I have never investigated the mechanism by which they do this, but the theory is that if you have some personal web space like

http://www.someisp.com/~someusername,

this would mask the location where the pages are actually hosted. Look for some similar feature at your registrar or dns service and disable it.

Ok that makes sense. I've looked at the registrar account but don't see anything like that for which I can disable. It only gives me the ability to change nameservers, create them and/or point to different IP's and URL forwarding. I'll send them an email just in case I'm missing something.
