CNAME error?; Registrar: netfirms

Domain Name: www.thependragonmovie.com
Registrar: http://www.netfirms.com/

Board-URL: http://z4.invisionfree.com/PendragonMovie

There is a forwarding feature that doesn't seem to work.
When set up, following the domain will take you to my forum. But it still displays in the browser as the invisionfree link.

I'd like for the z4.invisionfree.com/PendragonMovie portion to be replaced with www.thependragonmovie.com if it will work that way.

There is also an A Record function. Should I use the IP address for the z4.invisionfree.com server?
And if so, what is that address?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Since it seems to direct to your board there is nothing else you have to do at the domain control panel.

If you want your board to display the domain name instead of your IF URL, you will need to go to the domain manager in your ACP (where you added the domain). From here, you should see a drop-down box where you select the primary domain. Simply change this to the domain name that you have purchased. :)

Create an A Record and set the IP address to 209.85.12.229

You do not need the forwarding, for you want to point the domain to invisionfree's server, not forward to it.
