When I enter the URL for my website, the IP address of my web server appears in the address bar of ie. How can I stop this, and have my url appear only?
I tried entering a Host Header in IIS but this stop the site from working.

I have only seen this happen locally when your computer is connecting to another internal server that is behind a nat'ed firewall, or you have an entry in your hosts file that points hostname to that IP.
