Does anybody know how I can setup my IIS(or whatever) so that I can point abc.mydomain.com to one folder while xyz.mydomain.com to another folder?
What I am asking is how do I setup the subdomain in IIS.(I have only one IP)

Unless you controll the DNS for your domain, you can't do this without aid from your ISP. Do you have control of your DNS?
Having multilple entries (abc.xyz.com,cba.xyz.com,b
1. create your 1st web site using mmc for iis. assign it the correct IP address, I assume that you have done this already.
2. create your 2nd site just like the first, assigning it the same address. In the same properties page (web site tab) click on the advanced button.
3. highlight the listed address, it will be the same as the 1st website. choose edit and use the FQDN of your 2nd site as the host header. This lets IIS know which site to pull up. You don't have to change port # or anything else.
Check temp.newphase.com and www.newphase.com
as they are both on the same IP running under IIS using the host header to determine which site to pull up.
BTW, it took longer to type this out than enter a new address record for the name server and create the new site.
good luck.

Please, read carefully IIS documentation (if you have IIS 4.0 or later) about virtual servers assigned to one IP
I believe the feature you are talking about is called HTTP Headers - not subdomain. You want to have two web sites, sitea.mycompany.com and siteb.mycompany.com right?
If so...
Create two sites by right clicking on the server from the Internet Service Manager. Then choose New > Web Site. Follow defaults. Set both sites to use the same IP, same port (80) but different home directories.
Right click on the root of your first website in the Internet Service Manager, then go to properties. Under the WebSite Tab click Advanced. Now click Add. Set port to 80. Give your site a name (sitea).
Now do the same for the second site, but under Host Header Name, put siteb.
Right click on each site and then click start!!! You now have two sites running on the same IP and known port!!!

A. He did not ask about DNS, he asked about IIS.
B. Maybe it's a local, private site? I don't know because he did not say.
C. Apparently DNS was not his problem...
D. jmatwyko had DNS covered...
