Mandrake 10.1 ; apache 2.0.48 ; URL not showing in address bar

I tried this yesterday, but was making up names and IP for the sake of
trying to remain slightly anon. But it wasn't working. So here is my
dilema...


Running a webserver on my linux box, and connected to the internet via
a comcast cable modem. Whenever I browse to a webpage hosted on my
server, the ip address is shown instead of the http://www.czepp.net/


Here is some info on my setup...
czepp.net is registered with godaddy.com

>nslookup www.czepp.net
Server: ns.inflow.pa.bo.comcast.net
Address: 68.87.167.196

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: czepp.net
Address: 64.202.167.129
Aliases: www.czepp.net



My cable modem is hooked into a Linksys router. Checking the info on
the router shows that the I address assigned to it from the cable modem
is

LAN
IP: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP: disabled

WAN
IP: 69.141.168.42
Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway: 69.171.168.1
DNS: 68.87.64.196
68.87.66.196



The IP address of my linux box is
192.168.2.102 and I have all port 80 traffic being forwarded to that
IP.

On godaddy.com, i have
traffic for czepp.net to be forwarded to http://69.141.168.42/


And now for some detailed info about the linux box..
Mandrake 10.1
Apache 2.0.48


>hostname
www.czepp.net


>cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.102 www.czepp.net www


>cat /etc/resolv.conf
search czepp.net
nameserver 68.87.64.196
nameserver 68.87.66.196


>grep hosts nsswitch.conf
hosts: files nisplus nis dns




and from httpd.conf
--------------

Listen 80

ServerName www.czepp.net

UseCanonicalName On

HostnameLookups Off

All the VirtualHost stuff is commented out


This is all the info that i could think to post that might be relative.
Anyone have any idea on how i can this to work?? Thanks again

So, godaddy is hosting your domain

Right here you tell godaddy that you want traffic for czepp.net
forwarded to a different IP address (69.141.168.42)

You need a DNS A record for czepp.net pointing at 69.141.168.42. If your
cable internet is DHCP, like most consumer cable internet, you will need
some provision for updating this A record when your IP number changes.

I have a similar situation, but I have a registered domain that is
updated through DynDns.org. Their DNS servers point directly to my IP
address. Maybe godaddy has someway to do this?
