[NTLUG:Discuss] How do I connect up a domain name to my IP address?

[Newsletters]

With whom did you register your domain name?  For example, If you 
registered with www.register.com, you have to go to the manage your 
account section and click the Change my IP section for pointing their 
DNS Records to your IP.  Similiarly, you also have to specify in another 
option to register.com what the IP address is to deliver the 
mail......This is assuming you just want register.com's DNS server to 
resolve your name address (in my case, just sends the applicable queries 
to my small DNS server).

Procedures may be slightly different for other domain registrars.

Just my $.02.
