Hi,  
I’m not sure that this is the correct forum, but worth a shot.

I recently finished a website for a cinematographer that includes progressively downloaded flv files. The flv files are linked to their source on the web server with a web address (i.e. [http://www.mysite.com/raw\_video/video.flv](http://www.mysite.com/raw_video/video.flv)).

The problem is that my client sometimes tries to access his site by typing in [adamorellana.com](http://adamorellana.com) instead of [www.adamorellana.com](http://www.adamorellana.com). When he does this, the site appears to load properly, but the flv files do not load because the site is trying to access the link without the “www”.

The best solution that I could think of would be to make it so that if someone types in [adamorellana.com](http://adamorellana.com) then they would automatically be redirected to “[www.adamorellana.com](http://www.adamorellana.com)”. Basically I would make it so that they would never access the site that doesn’t work.

Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks.
