I've got a website setup in my virtual webserver using server2003 and can access it from my internal network no probs which includes a domain controller server with dns and active directory and so forth. How would i go about setting it up the virtual machines so i could access the site using my host browser not just by ip but by using the www. name i've got set up for it on the dns server.
Thanks

Re: Access Virtual Webserver Through the Net?
If you have a (Properly configured) DNS server just set it up and point the guests to use that for their DNS.
If you don't want to use a DNS server you can put the information in your guests hosts file <IP-Address> <Friendly Name>
Example: 192.168.0.10 "www.mywebserver.com" (Without the "")

Re: Access Virtual Webserver Through the Net?
SteveThePirate87, since you've got A/D on your internal network and I assume that you've got the A/D DNS enabled then if your VM W2K3 is a domain member then it should be accessible as you suggest. I am assuming that you are using a bridged network.
This isn't a VB issue but a straight A/D / DNS configuration issue and if you need help on this then the best place to get this is on an appropriate MS support forum.
