This is how I have it set up at the moment.
Registrar (GoDaddy):
knowyourmac.com -- forwards to -->
knowyourmac.webhop.net
Dyndns.Org:
knowyourmac.webhop.net -- webhops to -->
knowyourmac.homeip.net/~emilymatt/kym/wiki/
(and then
knowyourmac.homeip.net points to my home dynamic IP address.)
I just worked out that I NEED that trailing "/" in the redirect for it
to work. If it's missed out, the redirect won't work.
So, yes, I can now specify a page in the wiki by giving an address like
http://knowyourmac.com/index.php/Previous_OS_versions
(although personally I would quite like to get rid of that "index.php"
part and just have
knowyourmac.com/Page_Name...)
I realise the setup is probably more complicated than it needs to be -
I'll look into moving my domain to dyndns to bring down the number of
hops...
Thanks

Are you forced to use HTTP redirects? I'm
guessing that you are doing
this so that references to
knowyourmac.com can find your machine by
mapping to
knowyourmac.homeip.net which goes through dyndns.org's name
server.
Why not switch your domain registration over to
dyndns.org so that
clients will get your dynamic ip address directly?

Actually, I spoke too soon. I changed $wgServer
to
"http://knowyourmac.homeip.net" but it only resolves fully (into
knowyourmac.homeip.net) once it loads, and it still loads by going via
the local computer name. Looks like I'll have to play with the other
settings you mentioned, or just give up on the local server and put it
on hosted space.

Add an override to $wgServer in your LocalSettings.php, like this:
$wgServer = "http://example.com";
