IIS ip problem

[drctx]

i've posted this in the IIS forum but no replies (i guess not many read the IIS forum).

i've got a IIS server named k8 with a dynamic ip of xxx.xxx.xxx.101 and a static ip of xxx.xxx.xxx.13. when i ping the server using the server name k8 i get back the 101 ip address. but when i enter k8 or ip xxx.xxx.xxx.101 into internet explorer the web page doesn't show, but if i enter the static ip xxx.xxx.xxx.13 then it works. i would like the page to display by using the server name k8.
any ideas about how to fix this?

thanks,
Doug

go to the propreties of default web site>web site, make sure you have correct ip or 101.

we figured it out. some how the ip xxx.xxx.xxx.101 was asigned to 2 computers and for whatever reason wasn't getting an ip conflict. but changed the ip to a free one and now it's working with the server name.
