http://68.100.8.2:8080/ will stay there since www.activevfp.com is forwarding to that address. I could have used the optional Masking feature which hides the real URL and just shows www.activevfp.com for all pages, but, I chose not to. I had to go with Web Forwarding since my ISP (COX Cable) is blocking Port 80(standard HTTP port). Using the Web Forwarding service, a web user can type in www.activevfp.com instead of www.activevfp.com:8080.
So, the total cost for internet service and hosting a local interactive Web Site running on ActiveVFP is just $39.95/mo with COX cable. Not bad - I was paying twice this with COVAD DSL at half the speed...

>>It's $12/yr from Network Solutions just for Web Forwarding. However, I just found a much cheaper site - http://www.domaintransfer.us/ - that only charges $8.88/yr for domain registration(Network Solutions is $30/yr) and includes Web Forwarding for free! I'll probably go with something like that when my domains expire...

>>>>http://www.activevfp.com works now. For those interested in how I set it up: I signed up for Web Forwarding from Netsol so that all www.activevfp.com requests go to the currentIP:8080 . Not bad and only costs $12 or so a year. My Win2000 DNS Server will likely be retired now since it's no longer needed...
