I've set the preffered domain in Google, nevertheless I have a couple of questions relating to the canonicalization issue and hosting on a windows shared server.

1) When I submit to directories etc I use www. mysite. com, is there any difference between submitting "www.mysite.com" and "www.mysite.com/"

2) I use relative paths in my website, and for the home page link in my code it points to "/index.asp". Should I remove the page name and just use "/"

3) If my homepage was to go to "/", so it would show up as "www.mysite.com/" in the address bar, is this treated the same as "www.mysite.com"

Thanks.
