DNS name resolutions

[stu2k1]

I have a server on network 213.171.198.0 with 3 ip addresses attached to it. I've pointed one of my websites at its own ip address, now what i neeed to know is how do i get the same website to be displayed if i type the ip address in the browser. As i have looked through a book and nothing seems to be working. Everytime i type in the ip address it displays a default page i've setup in the root directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't exactly understand your post but are you trying to get a different page to load instead of the default home page on the server? I.E. trying to load thisone.html instead of default.html? Fish

Hi again,

Right i have my root directory setup on the c: drive and the websites are on the d: drive, now all i want to do is display my website, which has the ip address of 213.171.198.232, when i type that ip address in the browser. But for some strange reason the browser doesn't get directed there, so its either dns or iis that's not setup correctly. Hope that answers your question.

You need to go to the properties of your website (not the default website) and select the website tab. Change the IP address to the one you want. Make sure the default website is set to "All unassigned".

What web server do you have?
If you have IIS, first stop default website, and then right in your website, properties, and in Web site tab, click on advanced button, put your IP addres, TCP Port 80 and Host Header Name must be in blank. This way that website answer for your IP.
