Domain name forwarding and webhosting issue

37 New Member
I am renting (or owning?) a domain name for 15/year. When I first got the domain I did not have too many problems forwarding the DNS to my old desktop, which runs apache.

Now since then I have moved and my internet situation is thus:
I am behind a wireless router (on the wireless side of things unfortunately). I have access to the router in via web interface, and can give myself a static IP on the client side, which is what I have done.

Now what I did before was go to whatismyip.com and forward the DNS to whatever I saw there however this is not working now, presumably due to the router.

what suggestions do people have to get around this?
1) I understand I can have my dns forwarded to an external site and that site will dynamically re forward it to my webserver. A friend suggested DynDNS.com but they charge money >.> and I am cheap. Any free solutions come to mind? Also I believe this only takes care of address switching by my ISP, what changes will I need to make router side?

2) I could rent some domain space I suppose. I would much prefer to host my own (for educational purposes) but it anyone knows a good site it could be useful. My webserver is an old pentium 4 and quite noisy so I dont leave it on (lol) which makes the setup non-ideal ideal as something to show off my skills with/host a blog, etc

Thanks!

I have a domain name I just purchased and forwarded it to my ISP (free) web server. The forwarding works as expected and gets me to my home page. The links written in HTML (anchors) work as expected, using a relative name (i.e., "main.html" without the domain name preceeding it). One of the links is dynamic, leading to a subpage based on date, and is written in javascript. The script works if the page is on my local disk and if I...

After a server created cookie is processed on the client I want it removed, cleared, or expired in the javascript block but have been unable to do this. If I set a cookie value in the server code behind and don't use a domain then I can not change or remove that cookie's value on the client. If I subsequently create the cookie again in the codebehind then I actually end up with TWO cookies with the same name in the response. The cookie...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
