Setting up WebSite, DNS Settings Problems

[leeanator101]

Alright. I hope some one can assist me

I have purchased my dot.tk domain which is

http://www.bike.tk

. It has been fully activated and I need to specify a host name and a ip address. My ip address for the server is 207.6.64.211. The host name I am not sure of. I am running windows 2000 server and its name is PRIMARY. I am using IIS to run the site.

The second problem is that I am not sure how to setup the DNS settings in Windows 2000 for the web site. I have read a couple tutorials from Microsoft and followed them as best I could. So I am guessing my problem is with the .tk settings?

If someone out there could give me detailed instructions starting from step 1.

Thankyou.

I need more info on the .tk. Do you have a current web-site that you're transfering to .tk?

Yes, currently there is a re-direction that I am using. I enter my ip + any folders to get to the main display file:

Example:

http://207.6.64.211/bike_tk/index.html

Normally the hostname of your webserver would be www. So the

http://www host

of the Domain Bike.tk would point to the External IP of your webserver. So the FQDN of your webserver would be

http://www.bike.tk....
