Posts: 479	sorry my terms arent really easy to understand...as i am not used to internet stuff. but i mean mask as in make it so that instead of having people go to my ip addy they would instead go to a website and it would point them to my addy. and the domain name would bne a subdomain given from a friend.

You should set the ServerName directive in your httpd.conf as well, but that isn't strictly necessary to make it work.
