Domain Squatting

Correct me if I'm wrong - (Cause I can't find the info in writing just now) but, as long as you're 'private' network doesn't connect directly to the internet, you can use any 'domain name' you wish.

I'm speaking relative to Win2k / 2003.

My 'private' domain surfing ability has been reduced to a crawl.....My 'Registered' domain is wonderful....both on the same IP, and in the same location.

The reason ? Domain squatting. My 'private' domain name has been acquired by 'urlcollection.com' and all my surfing is redirected through their servers. Of course they are offering it back to me AT A PRICE.

Anyone else finding the same thing ?
