It's been 2 days since I set up the CName for my new domain and I wonder if someone could have a look over my DNS settings - maybe there's an entry I have to remove or something like that. I don't have a unique IP, but run on a shared server.
I have attached my current settings.

Thanks,
Sebastian

    no, the www cname should go to www.smugmug.com.

    did you put your www.name.com in the control panel field, too?

    I can't check, access is really spotty here in Utah..

    The DNS hasn't updated yet so I only get an error page and couldn't add it to the control panel.
    Don't you think it works with the name.com without the www.? I don't want to change it unless it's sure that it won't work, because for some reason the DNS resolving takes very long this time and I don't want it to start over if it's not necessary.

    Thanks,

    Well I tried that and now have set cname www.sebastianhosche.com set to www.smugmug.com. The funny thing was that it worked immeadiately in IE! I was directed to the smugmug main page, but FF can't resolve it yet and ping works neither. ne_nau.gif

    Thanks again for the pointer - I guess things will get going from now on.

    Yep, looks like it's gone live beyond my IE6 now. thumb.gif

    Now I've added another cname from sebastianhosche.com to www.sebastianhosche.com and hope this will work then too, because I do't like having to enter the www all the time and I figure there are people like me all over the world. mwink.gif

    Thanks for checking,
