Okay I recently bought a domain name from Godaddy.com. And now that my server is working. I had it foward with masking to my IP address. The problem is when I am on my forum the real directory to it is dragonkwest.net/forum/ but it just says dragonkwest.net in the browser bar how do I fix this?
#2pencil: That's because I bought my domain from godaddy.
So you're having problems with your domain, & then you're going to tell me why the results are they way they are?
Nice.
The problem is that your nameserver entries point to GoDaddy, & not to where your server is located. Thus, the Netcraft results are correct, & are pointing out the error.
Or you can tell me that I'm wrong, & fix it yourself Because my Netcraft results point to my server, where my websites are hosted, & not to GoDaddy, where I registered the domain names.
No, it's fine. Almost every domain registrar has a "Forwarding" option, which is a frame hosted on their server pointing to another site.
The issue is because he's home-hosting it, asin he's on a non-reliable, non-static IP Address'd connection which will connect/disconnect, sometimes giving a new IP - which renders it unusable.

Forwarding? Ewwwww!
I would still consider this a DNS/nameserver issue. Forwards are often consider spammy, as well as email will have huge problems coming from a home (residential) ip address, let alone when a reverse DNS fails.
What is commercial grade Service? Also what would you normally pay? Don't laugh I am knew to this. And I have been noticing issues with Wireless computers (like losing Internet access on other wireless computers in my network.) in my network will having a Dynamic IP on a server in a network cause that because I didn't have these issues.

If you have a dynamic internal IP, you're going to have to keep rerouting the router's (on the wireless) outgoing port.. So forwarding port 80 to that computer for a web server.
Then you have the other issue of constantly rerouting DNS/your frame from GoDaddy since your external IP is dynamic.
Your wireless is operating on an internal (non-routable) subnet. However, if your webserver is offline (because wireless is dropping) then your users are going to get a 404.
I already voiced my concerns to you about running a webserver on laptop over wireless, but they didn't seem to bother you.
