Multiple Websites with Windows 2000 server iis 5.0

[jaevans]

I apologize in advance for the length.<br><br>I have a small company <A HREF="

http://www.mycompany.com.&nbsp"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.mycompany.com.&nbsp</A>;&nbsp;I

host my own site, we are always connected via 128k isdn.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our name is registered with internic and i have a static ip from my isp.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I have had many requests by my staff to make our files avail. over the web.&nbsp;&nbsp;So I designed an intranet site which I would like to make accesable over the web and call it <A HREF="

http://private.mycompany.com.&nbsp"

TARGET="_new">

http://private.mycompany.com.&nbsp</A>;&nbsp;I

thought I could do it with the single static ip I already had, but I was told it wasn't possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>So, I called my isp to request another static ip.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was denied.&nbsp;&nbsp;My only option was to purchase another dialup account(56k a cheap one)just so they would issue the second ip.&nbsp;&nbsp;I called the company that previously hosted my site and they made a DNS entry for me private.mycompany.com pointing to the new address.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>This is where my problem lies.&nbsp;&nbsp;I tried to give my isdn adapter the second ip in the DUN properties but that option didn't exist.&nbsp;&nbsp;I manually entered the second ip in the iis5 website properties page where you can specify the address to listen on.&nbsp;&nbsp;I tried to visit the site and ping the address, but I got host unreachable.&nbsp;&nbsp;I started to think that because I didn't dial in using the second address my isp doesn't know where to route requests.<br><br>Should private.mycompany.com's DNS entry point to my first ip address and then use ip forwarding ?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so what is the proper way to set it up ?&nbsp;&nbsp;Or is there something else I'm doing wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I am running Windows2000 server.<br><br>I again apologize for the length, but I wanted to include all the info that I could.

You could use the IP-address for the <A HREF="

http://www.mycompany.com"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.mycompany.com</A>

but assign another port number to it, this will work fine.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Lars<br>

You can host multiple sites with one IP address by using name based virtual hosting (Microsoft calls it host header names) <br><br>Check out this Microsoft article:<br><br><A HREF="
