Basic setup problem

[Sten Carlsen]

Hi
To me this looks most like a web-server configuration problem. DNS will 
see that people get to the "doorstep" by describing the way. The 
web-server is responsible from this point. On my web-page you will get 
the main page for whatever your browser asks for. It is your duty to set 
this up. It is very easy at least with Apache, YMMV.

Good luck.
