Hello all
I need to specify additional name like PC1Web for the second IP address in
my computer.
People need to test my webpage in an Intranet environement.

How can I do it?
(Windows XP Pro SP2)

One way would be to make a host file entry on the testers computers.

Another way would be to use an exsisting internal DNS server, if you
are on a domain you should ask your domain administrator about seting
up a internal domain that "points" at your computer. If you do not
have a internal DNS server, then the hosts file method is best for
you.
