Hi, <br />
<br />
I am setting up an internal webserver on the network (so that users can leave massages for each other, put news articles on, leave todo lists for each other etc.)<br />
right now to access it users have to type:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://nameOfServer" rel="ugc">http://nameOfServer</a>&nbsp;or <a href="http://IPaddressOfServer" rel="ugc">http://IPaddressOfServer</a><br />
<br />
instead what I want is for them to type a meaningful name in i.e. news.company.com<br />
<br />
could anyone tell me a step by step way of adding DNS records to the Domain Controller so that users can type the domain above and it will point them to the webserver?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />
<br />

Domain records

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
