Hallo

I hope some on can help me i have installed the IIS part of windows XP and i
setup a website on it and it works fine but to access it the other people in
my company need to know the machine name for it. So what i would like to do
is setup an easy URL for the people to use. Is this possible and if so how

Any help would be great
Regards
Markus
 
The easiest way I can think of right off the top of my head would be to put
an alias record in your company DNS server with a "friendly" name that
points to your computer. Then users could access the web site using:

http://friendlyname/

instead of:

http://yourcomputername/
