My domain is parked with Freeparking who allow me to forward to my own isp. When this happens the Address window of the browser gives my domain name (as parked with Freeparking), not the real isp address. Furthermore, my static home page on the isp has links to Apache running on my home pc (broadband but changeable ip address, hence the homepage on the isp whose links are periodically updated to track the changing ip address). When the user clicks any of the links on the homepage he gets directed to my home pc. The browser still says the original domain name registered with Freeparking, not the raw ip address of my home pc. At this stage the user is in the dynamic, easyPublish-driven cms. Now everything appears to work fine except when the user logs in. Normally (and this is what you get if you go directly to the home pc using the raw ip address or localhost) the Login word changes to Logout after you login. Also, I have got roles and permissions set so that the logged-in user sees extra menu entries compared to the anonymous user. Neither of these two things happen when you get to my site through the convoluted route of Freeparking -> isp -> hope pc, although the user is definitely logged in (one of the pages lists all logged in users and he appears there). I think the problem has to do with this masking or gripping of the url done by Freeparking but I don't know how to work around the problem.
