Hello All;
(WinNT4 IIS4)
I need to find out how to access a Host-Header site through the network?

Example:
Main site - www.yourdomain.com <-- accessible through:
http://192.168.1.176
Host header Site - something.yourdomain.com <-- How to access?

Thanks all
Wayne

I got it. Found the information on: microsoft.public.inetserver.iis

>From your test machine on your internal network;

- Find /%windows%/system32/drivers/etc/ a file called HOSTS
- Follow instructions to add a line, template below;

123.123.123.123 www.yourtestservername.com


Works like a charm
I am very, very happy now

Take Care All;

Wayne
