Mapping a SharePoint 2010 Site collection to a user friendly FQDN

I have installed a SharePoint 2010 Server.  I have configured, as an example the following site collection

The Site collection URL is:  http://servername/sites/corp
I used web application Port 80

Goal:  To be able to access this site collection by using brportal.domainname.com
I want to map this name to the SP Site collection.

I created a DNS entry brportal.domainname.com and mapped it to the IP address of the SP server.

I created an AAM for the port 80 web application for Intranet zone using brportal.domainname.com

I used RDP to access the sharepoint server; when I open a browser window on the server and type:
http://brportal.domainname.com, it prompts me to autheticate; I present my credentials and nothing happens
happens.

Is there something that I need to do in IIS?  How do I get the DNS name to resolve the the SharePoint
site collection?  I checked the web application of port 80 and it is set for windows authentication.

If someone has some insight into this, that would be great.

Thanks.

In your bindings, do you have a host header value set for:

80     *      brportal.domainname.com

Im sorry values in wrong order:

http     brportal.domainname.com     80     *

Hello IT Saige....

This is what I have ( 2 entries)
Site Bindings for Sharepoint-80
Type   Host Name                   Port      Ip Address  
http                                         80
http  brportal.blueriverit.com  80               *
Do you have an external DNS entry for this site?  Does it point to the correct external IP address?  Does the router have port 80 1-to-1 NAT'ed to the internal IP address of the server -or- does the router have port 80 forwarded to the internal ip address of the server?

-saige-
Also what does your DNS table look like?

Hello...
Thanks for the info.  I forwarded your questions to the IT Administrator since I don't have the answer for this.  I will respond as soon as I get an answer.

Thank you.
You need to configure host named site collections:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952.aspx

Could you perhaps provide more detail or what procedure I should use from this article?
Have you done this yourself and have you discovered/encountered any quirks?

Thank you.
