Actual Server nam in Address & not LOCALHOST?
I'm sending a link from an ASP page to users via email. To point to the correct server, I'm using Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") to obtain the server name for the link. When running on my development server from within VS, LOCALHOST appeatrs as the server name rather tyhan the machine's name. This causes the link to fail when others reference it. Is there some way to get VS to display the actual server name rather than LOCALHOST in the address line so that when I create this link, it gets the real name?

Have you tried accessing the page with your machine name? After all, that's the only way the users will be able to access it. Then, SERVER_NAME will come back as the server name they are using to access the site whether it's a full URL, LAN machine name or IP address.

Yes, but the default when running from VS is LOCALHOST. That means I have to go up to the address bar and manually override LOCALHOST with my machine name. IOW, when runnign from within VS I wanted the machine name to appear there by default, not LOCALHOST.
It's a moot point now. I've found another way to get what I wanted without referencing the address bar. Thanks!

I don't know if there's a way to change that. Probably not. I never browse from within VS so I haven't had to play with it.

This is determined when you create a new project.
If you create a new project at http://localhost/App1 it will browse to http://localhost/App1.
If you create it as http://MachineName/App1 it will browse to http://MachineName/App1
If you're brave, you can shut down VS.NET and then manually change the references in the .sln file for an existing project....
Cheers,
Imar
