not domain forwarding, but some other problem

alright, say i own [url]www.mydomain.com[/url]. it points to a server my friend owns and my account there is [url]http://me.friendsserver.com[/url]. i have an index.htm file in there that [url]www.mydomain.com[/url] points to. now i’ve bought [url]www.myotherdomain.com[/url] and i want it to point to a different file in that main directory; call it mod.htm.

i’ve domain forwarded [url]www.myotherdomain.com[/url] to point at [url]http://me.friendsserver.com/mod.htm[/url], but when i type [url]www.myotherdomain.com[/url] into the browser the url bar shows [url]http://me.friendsserver.com/mod.htm[/url] instead of [url]www.myotherdomain.com[/url].

is there a way to get [url]www.myotherdomain.com[/url] to remain in the url bar? maybe domain forwarding isn’t what i’m looking for, or maybe there is something else i need to do to set it up correctly.

did this make any sense at all?
