DNS Entry for base domain

[protected3000]

I have a quick question. I'm running DNS on a win2k server which is part of mixed mode domain. i need to add a record to dns so that

http://mycompany.com

resolves to

http://www.mycompany.com.

I don't know what kind of record (i'm thinking an A-record) I need to add and what exact info I need to input. I've tried adding an A-record and leaving it blank but that hasn't worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated

just put in an alias record and browse to the host(A) record of the web server

sorry left this out, when creating an alias record put in

http://www in

the first box, and browse to find the A record of the web server in the second box

thanks for the quick response....but i think you may have misunderstood my problem......i can get to

http://www.mycompany.com

just fine. i want to be able to get to the same place, but instead use

http://mycompany.com.

i'm unsure of how to add an entry like that.

Did you use the http header for your web sites ?
if yes, you need to mycompany.com into the sites, to make it works.

I never use the NT4 DNS, but the W2K DNS, is works fine, with the blank entry Host records.
did the ping mycompany.com,resolve to the correct ip address ?
