OK, when I type in www.myspecialcomputer.com I get sent to my computer, but the URL changes to my IP address in the browser...

I would rather it be www.myspecialcomputer.com and not the IP

What do I need to change... is it something with DNS or something with Apache...

HELP...

Don't worry, I fixed it... The DNS was wrong...

While you're at it, turn OFF UseCanonicalName in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, so that you can use more than one hostname or IP address with Apache.

for example, you might want to access the computer on your LAN, but also from the global hostname. If UseCanonicalName is ON, it will redirect LAN requests to use the external name, which you might not want.
