Setting it up on my Win2K server

OK, I have just copied my project onto my live server and I can hit the website by typing in
http://ipaddress/websitename/default.aspx

However, I want it to allow all of my users to hit it from their client machines by typing in:
http://websitename

Can anyone tell me what I need to put on the server to resolve the name and how I do it?

I think it is something to do with DNS but im not sure.

AndyHi Andy

So your nameserver entry has to point to the ip address of your server. In the IIS configuration you have to set the webroot directory to for ex. "d:\data\websitename\". You also have to add the correct hostheader in the configuration so that your IIS knows what to show if someone wants to see www.yourwebsitename.com (This is only needed of you run more than one website on your server)

The hole thing shouldn't be to difficult.

Hope this helps.
