Assigning domain name to IIS site
Hi There,
I have recently added a new site within IIS and I can navigate fine to the site you http://localhost/IISsitename or http://webserver-name/IISsitename. When I attempt to edit the bindings via IIS and add a host name for example, 'abc.com.au' as the host and assign it to port 1000, however when navigating to http://abc.com.au:1000 using a browser (internally) the site fails to load and I within the network. At the moment I am only wanting to access the site internally and I have also setup the DNS 'A' record and its correctly pointing to the IP address of the web server.
Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, thsnks for the tip there shouldnt be any firewalls between the client machine snd the webserver apart from the windows firewall. I will test the telnet connection and let you know how i get on.
