    Changing Default URL

    I'm building a company intranet site and would like to change the url needed to get to the page. So instead of them typing in http://<computername>/wss/index.aspx they could type in www.wss.com. Thanks.

    Set up your web site in IIS... Open the Internet Services Manager and create a new site www.wss.com. Place all of your ASP/HTML/etc pages there.

    Thanks for the help. Though when I try to open up the page it will display the default web page for ISS, the under construction page. I changed the default documents under the documents tab in properties wizard for my virtual directory. Still no go. Any solutions on why this is happening

    The default page that IIS recognizes is default.aspx. To get it to recognize index.aspx, you have to add in to the list of files that IIS will recognize.

    Sounds like you already have a default web site using www.wss.com. If you've created a Virtual Directory, then you will have to use;

    www.wss.com/<your virtual site name>

    or clear out the files in the default web site and move your stuff in.
