Can i just use internic?
Say i have a domain name myname.com
What info do I need to change to transfer it to my comp.?

*BUMP*

Ilya,

You need a DNS server to point the domain name to IP address (you computer).

More info:

Example: www.mydomain.com

The internic point the domain name to DNS server dns.xxxx.com . Then this DNS server point the domain name to IP.

So you need a DNS server.

How can I get a DNS server?
I'm really a newbie at transfering domains stuff, so..

Ilya,

Yes, changing the IP should do it
A while back I wanted to do the same thing for my site, until I discovered my ISP won't allow me to make a webserver

Here's info of my domain right now:
Domain servers in listed order:

NS11.WORLDNIC.COM 216.168.225.141
NS12.WORLDNIC.COM 216.168.225.142
It's being 'hosted' at networksolutions - i reserved it, i guess.
What exactly do I change there?
THanks again

Ilya,

I say again. You need 2 DNS servers to setup them to point the domain name to your IP.

You can't just change your info in Internic ( networksolutions) to make the domain point to your IP. You need 2 DNS server before

You can get a FREE DNS Server herer:
