using spider sim www not returning page info

    When I type in either www.mywebsite(not real name).com or mywebsite.com in my browser window both addresses will load with no problem. When I use a Google spider simulator the www address will return very little information but if I leave out the www the spider simulator will return the full page information.

    I have searched the internet and from my very limited knowledge of SEO it looks like I may need to do a 301 redirect. If a 301 redirect is the answer would I redirect mywebsite.com to www.mywebsite.com or vice versa?

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Yeto
