  creating a website in IIS 6.0 Reply Contact Hi, I created a website and would like to add a host header value. Default Website -> Advanced ->(my IP Address):Port 80 ->host-header value. Under default website is my Website virtual directory. I get this error: - The requested URL could not be retrieved -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While trying to retrieve the URL: http://(Host header value)/(Application name)/Default.aspx The following error was encountered: Unable to determine IP address from host name for awap.com The dnsserver returned: Name Error: The domain name does not exist. This means that: The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct.

  Re: creating a website in IIS 6.0 Reply Contact Hi! The message you see seems to be coming from a proxy. For the host header value you want to use, have you created the proper records in the DNS server? If i do a nslookup on awap-wellsfargo.com, it says it cannot resolve the domain name. Is this the domain name you have added as a host header value, and is it supposed to be available on the Internet? Kristofer Gafvert http://www.gafvert.info/iis/

  Re: creating a website in IIS 6.0 Reply Contact Kreshiv: I made the change in: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts. Is that enough It depends on your settings in the browser. If you use a proxy, the proxy will try to lookup the domain name to a IP address (which it will do by querying the DNS server, not by checking the hosts file on a client machine). If the domain name cannot be resolved, it may return the error message you see. So my guess is that the setting is not correct in the DNS server, and/or that the proxy you use cannot properly resolve the domain name. Kristofer Gafvert http://www.gafvert.info/iis/

  Re: creating a website in IIS 6.0 Reply Contact If you use Internet Explorer: - Click Tools->Internet Options - Click on the Connections tab. - Click the button LAN Settings. - Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN" Do note however that this may cause other issues. You may be required to use a proxy (company policy or such). You may also not be able to change this, if you have group policy preventing it. Kristofer Gafvert http://www.gafvert.info/iis/
