Intranet Site

[fattyfatpants]

I am new to the whole web/intranet development circle and my employer wants me to develop a corporate intranet site...My first question is how do I do this?? I want to develop it using ASP/ASP.NET and of course IIS. I am very well versed at developing desktop applications with VB6 so I can grasp VBScript fairly easily and I know HTML pretty well. I have been experimenting with development and want to know how I can have someone enter

http://intranet.domain.com

instead of

http://localhost/intranet/...

I don't know how to do this...any help as well as any tips would be greatly appreciated

well if you have a domain you can create a dns entry for internal use only, or you can just hack/whack your hosts and lmhosts files on all the machines for translation of the domain name, for a while i was tired of all those microsoft pages that kept loading in the days of old and i changed my hosts file to make MS.com relative to my recycle bin other than that i'd say google up some asp tutorials and you should be squared away

also for the question about dns stuffs, i also noticed that intranet was a subfolder of localhost, you'd also need to make a domain mask in IIS to patch intranet.domain.com to server/intranet
