Mask My IP

I run a web site off IIS 6.0 (Win XP) with a Go Daddy domain. I have Go Daddy forward visitors to my IP address. All I want is to replace my IP address in the visitors address bar with my domain name.

This has really been giving me a lot of issues. First I tried using Go Daddy's masking feature. It made some kind of a frame but always showed http://www.mydomain.com even when sub pages were navigated to. It wasn't easy for others to link to a particular page on the site. Additionally, there were problems with the Session variables and Response.Redirects with the frame page setup from Go Daddy. I'm sure this is the cause because the pages worked right when I used my private IP inside my network, but not over the internet with the frame page.

Any ideas of something else that I can try to replace my IP address with my domain name? Basically, all I need to do is this:

Client_Addr_Bar = Replace(Client_Addr_Bar, MY_IP, MY_Domain)

One VB script line would do it if there were a variable I could set. Any ideas? There has to be some way to do this because I know of many web hosts who use IIS. How do they mask their IP with a domain name?

Thanks for the help.
 
He already has some kind of DNS setup if he has a website name. You should probably just set the DNS entry for your website to your IP address.
 
Pretty sure you can change your 'A record' to send everything to your IP or just change the www cname to send only web traffic your way...

Is this done in IIS or through GoDaddy? I'm not sure if I should be looking in IIS or GoDaddy so I'm pretty confused overall.

I GoDaddy, they had namerservers but I didn't know what those were. There are HTTP headers in IIS. I set one but it didn't seem to do anything. Are either of these the way to go?
