I currently have 2 installs of Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 installed on VMware and just installed IIS 7.5 on #2. I can get the default webpage to show by browsing for it. My question is On my #1 server I can access it if I open Explorer and type in IP address directly. I can't type in actual site address and get it to come up. Any help would be appreciated. I have configured my DNS server I think. I see that on #2 it comes up as localhost, is this a possible problem. I am new at setting up servers and need all the help I can get. I have included a file to show what I mean.

Eg, if the actual site address is www.supercorp.net, please do the following to the DNS Server: 1. under the supercorp.net path, add an A record: Name Type Value www A IP address of your IIS server (eg, 192.168.1.5) Then, try to do a IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS on both servers. Make sure that both server's DNS IP is pointing to 192.168.1.1 (TCP/IP's properties of the Local Area Connection of Network and Sharing Center) Give it a try, and let me know if it works.
