I recently bought a domain name from GoDaddy - - and am using their domain forwarding to point to my hosting PC (Apache 2 on Windows 2000 Pro)

When I type enter my domain name - brisray.com - the site comes up fine except the URL is shown as the IP address of the machine.

Can someone tell me how to get the machine to display the site URL rather than the IP address?

The site has been a hobby of mine for several years but I don't like spending more money on it than I have to.

I belive GoDaddy charges an extra fee to "mask" the domain name in the browser. For that reason I use "namesecure.com" and "registerfly.com".
