Bad Request - Invalid Hostname

Hi,
In my Win 2008 server, I have published the project fine in "Start" of the site called "WIN-BVDIC8GIAHI". But when I go to this
http://WIN-BVDIC8GIAHI:81/Start

I've got, while I am able to ping "WIN-BVDIC8GIAHI"
Bad Request - Invalid Hostname

HTTP Error 400. The request hostname is invalid.

why?

Can you check your site bindings in IIS

run inetmgr and for the site you intend to browse to ensure iis has the port 81 bound to that hostname.

click on the site in inetmgr and edit binding and from the dropdown select your site and enter the port 81 (you should be good to go)

If any issues you can run iisreset /noforce from the command line.

Thanks a lot. I can see Site bindings that is

Type Host name Port
http win08.huamin.com 81

is already there. What to adjust on that?

Thanks a lot. After I have used "WIN-BVDIC8GIAHI" instead as the hostname and have restarted the machine, I then get this
Server Error in '/Start' Application.
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.

Does it mean a problem with the Framework version?

Many Thanks & Best Regards,
