accessing sharepoint from a fully qualified domain name
How do I access SharePoint from a FQDN (fully qualified domain name)? I can access sharepoint from http://companyweb but when I type the FQDN http://companyweb.domain.local i just get the IIS welcome page attached. I need to be able to use the FQDN, how do i find out the FQDN URL for sharepoint?
I have access to IIS so i can check any settings

Thanks, i found it by trial and error and noticed different programs translated the address for me.
Thanks for your help :-)

what is returned if you run a ping on:
- ping companyweb
- ping companyweb.domain.local
Is it the same IP address?
If yes then you just have to change the Alternate Access Mappings in SharePoint Central Administration.
Which version of SBS / Windows SharePoint Services are you using?
With WSS 3.0 go to
Central Admin
then
Operations > Alternate Access Mapping
Edit Public URLs
and under Intranet field give "http://companyweb.domain.local" and Save
