.htaccess

I'm pretty inexperienced with .htaccess so please bear with me.

I have a domain - "http://www.exampletest.com"

which redirects to a folder at a different domain where I have hosting i.e:

"http://www.differenturl.com/exampletest"

Is there an easy mod_rewrite rule where I could have anything at "http://www.differenturl.com/exampletest" show up as "http://www.exampletest.com?" An example would be:

"http://www.differenturl.com/exampletest/user.php" -> "http://www.exampletest.com/user.php"

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I assume this easy so sorry to ask such a basic question.

Thanks

This domain was working this morning, now I get a 403 error and the message above in my error log.
