I just got around to registering my domain name again with them.

absoluttalent.com

And i set it up to forward to my server and an index page

http://64.53.233.250:90/index.html

How soon after I set these changes from thier domain manage menu should the results be shown?

They didn't tell you?

Godaddy changed mine in less than 24hours. They do say 24 to 72 hours turn around time.

What are you trying to do exactly? Forward a domain to your home machine?

I do it an easier way, go to http://www.zoneedit.com , sign up, get some DNS servers for your domain, and then use it with a DynDNS client to update ZoneEdit automatically. I do it and it works AWESOME. Up to 5 domains are *free* too.
