MULTI SITE ACCESS

[WINDOWSGUY]

I have a web server (win 2k server) - my IP address is
24.157.231.241, on my web server i created a site using "HOST HEADER" (using 1 IP address to host many sites):
a site called "ABC INC." WITH THE FOLLOWING
IP - 24.157.231.241
PORT - 80
HOST HEADER - ABC.COM
ON MY BROWSER WHAT DO I TYPE TO ACCESS THIS SITE?
is it -

http://24.157.231.241:80:ABC.com

this does not work
help

provided the domain name has been added to a DNS server just the same way as you would any other site on the internet.

or by IP would be

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?

ok - but if i had multi sites using the same IP address:
- I WOULD ONLY TYPE THE HOST NAME (ie ABC.COM) IN MY BROWSER.
THANKS A LOT!

yep, on some servers there are thousands of sites out there all sharing one IP. (geocities for instance)

You can also use your local hosts file for this purpose.

eg.

1.2.3.4 site1.com
1.2.3.4 site2.com
1.2.3.4 site3.com
