On W2K how 2 set Web site to be accessible as mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com
I followed this guideline
http://dslwebserver.com/images/sbs-w...-server/13.gif
But it didn't seem to work....
Any Windows Expert here?

>Open up IIS console
>Right click on website you want to host the domain under
>Click on Properties
>Under Web Site tab, click on Advanced next to IP Address
>Click Add on the top box
>If the site won't be on a dedicated IP, leave it to "All unassigned"
>Put the port number (I always use 80)
>Put www.mydomain.com under Host Header Name
Keep adding more host names as much as you want it to respond to mydomain.com, lala.mydomain.com, dede.mydomain.com, etc...

Also remember to add the entries to your DNS to point to the IP

Are you using a DSL connection, do you have a Static IP or dynamic, how are you managing the domain's DNS ?

Right, you need to add a host (A) record for mydomain.com to point to the IP of your server.
So at the moment you have:
www.mydomain.com. 86400 A your ip
You need to add:
mydomain.com. 86400 A your ip
(or similar)

All DNS Entry are set up correctly
Is this something to do with having active directory installed?
