No-ip.com question...

Alright, here's the deal. I downloaded and installed LanP3, which seems to be a really awesome mp3 server. It lets anyone connect to a web page and remotely choose what songs the server system will play. I also have a No-IP redirect set up on the machine. So, now if someone inputs:

http://myredirect.no-ip.org:1300/LanP3/

from anywhere on the web, they can access it. This is all well and good, but is there any way I can make it so that when they simply input

http://myredirect.no-ip.org

they will automatically be taken to that first location, without having to input the port number and folder slash? I assume if I set LanP3 to use port 80 that should take care of the port number, but I am stumped as far as what to do about the directory part. Like, can I put a small piece of HTML code somewhere on my laptop as index.htm that will be accessed when someone goes to the base redirect, and then just automatically sends them there?

I imagine you can just create an index.html with a javascript based redirect script.

This script will redirect to where you want to go, if No-IP is able to serve HTML pages in the base directory. Just save it as index.html and place it in the base directory.


<script language="javascript">
document.location.href = "http://myredirect.no-ip.org:1300/LanP3/";
</script>

Either change the port to 80, or change your no-ip settings to "port 80 redirect" and enter 1300 as the port. You don't have to add the "/lanp3" to the URL -- you will be automatically redirected by the lanp3 program.

Sweet, that works out great, didn't realize the redirect would be automatic. Thanks guys!
