Searches not getting whole address

[tshad]

We have 2 domains and if you put in part of our name in google, it finds our
pages, but the address is missing the "WWW". If you put of the name on
google for the second site, it shows the correct address. We have our own
DNS on our W2K server and our registered domain is with earthlink.

Where is Google getting their address from?

From our DNS or the hosted DNS (in this case, earthlink).

What would cause it to drop the WWW? Both sites are set up identical.

Thanks,

Tom

Google uses web bots that look for links on web pages it searches, and your
domain name was most likely linked on a page it crawled into. It is pretty
common and is nothing to worry about as long as the domain name resolves
only to your web site IP address.
