SettingUp Intranet: Unable to determine IP address 1

[ppantelis]

Hello everybody!

I ’m trying to setup an intranet site on a (test) windows server 2003 for a start.

Until now, I ’ve loaded the site folder on IIS (in the Default Web Site), changed the home directory, set index.htm as default content page.

On DNS, I ’ve created the following record:
Name: intranet
Type: Alias(CNAME)
Data: intranet.company.org

IIS Admin Service and

http://WWW Publishing

Service are running.

What else do I need?

I receive the error below…

The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL:

http://intranet.company.org/

The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for intranet.company.org
The dnsserver returned:
No Address records
This means that:
The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.
Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Thanks!

You don't have an A record for intranet.company.org which includes the IP address. Add this to DNS.

Thank you Serbtastic!

So, I 've deleted (I guess I had to) Alias(CNAME) and created the following Host(A) record:
Host: intranet
FQDN: intranet.company.org
IP: [IIS server's IP]

When I type

http://intranet.maryville.org/

on IE I receive the same message, as above.

 

[Serbtastic]

From command line on your client, run 'ipconfig /flushdns', then try pinging by name (intranet.maryville.org) and see if it resolves to the correct IP address.

OK, I did your tests:
ipconfig /flushdns >>
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache

ping intranet.company.org >>
Reply from [IIS server's IP]... successfully


In comparison to yesterday, the error I receive goes like this:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL:

http://intranet.company.org/

The following error was encountered:

OK, I think I'm close...

When I type

http://intranet.company.org,

the web site directory opens, and not the index.html as it should (or as I would like!).

It's probably a small change on the web site settings... Any ideas, please?

Your first post said you setup default as as index.htm, but here you said that you want index.HTML. Check and/or change this and it should work.

 

[ppantelis]

cheers!

I take it you checked it and it needed changed? Or had you already found it?

Either way I am glad it is cheers!
