I would think this would be a simple enough problem, but I've asked it several times with no solution found. For some reason, on my new win2k server with iis installed, the web address that you type into your browser that receives the contents of the

http://wwwroot

folder (in inetpub) is rjpserv4.domainname.com (where domainname is the name of our web domain). I want it to be

http://www.domainname.com.

The only place rjpserv4 was typed in in the installation was as my computer name. I do not yet have active directory installed (as it has been giving me trouble).

Actually, it's a little different than I said. Right now, with active directory not installed, I don't get anything with rjpserv4.domainname.com either. When I had active directory installed before, I could get rjpserv4.domainname.com, but I wanted it to be

http://www.domainname.com.

Plus, is there a way to do this without installing active directory? It really has been a pain to me, when I install it I lose access to the internal domain all the computers on our network log onto (but that's another story).

You have to get your ISP or whoever hosts your domain name to create an A record in DNS for

http://www that

points to the IP address of your server. If you have active directory with DNS installed on the server, you also need to create an A record in DNS on your server.
