Hi I have one web application, which will run in LAN, now for user i have given them address of application as:
---
http://12.100.12.12/MIS/login.asp
---
(MIS is Vir Dir)
Now, drawback is that user can see the server's IP address.
Further he needs to specify "login.asp" -- which is not comfortable to them.

so, how do i setup to remove "12.100.12.12" and place a textual name, further it should redirect to login.asp automatically,

Server is usinr IIS 5.0.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I got that it requres to create VD and user server name instead of IP addre.
Further create default.htm or default.asp to redirect to default page of site.

but what if server requires port number?
i.e. if it is like
---
http://12.100.12.12:1234/MIS/login.asp
---
in this case
---
http://servername/MIS
---
will not work.

Hi Rupen,

You can configure which ports a server listens on via the internet services manager.

Hi Chris,

Although we have setup the site, so port number is known to use. The prob is that how we can make our VDir setup such that it can automatiacally goes to that perticular port.

Please review my last post.

Hi Rupen,

If a client makes a request to port 80 as is the default for most users and your site does not listen on port 80, you cannot accept the request and then forward to another port.

You could set the site to listen on port 80 and your desired port and then add then redirect if they are using port 80...
HTH,
