Can't get website working how I want...

| Hey guys...
I probably should know this, but anyway...
I want to get this sort of directory structure going... say my domain is called TEST1, and the domain controller is TEST101 ok? and under it is a subdomain test2, so the structure is test2.test1.
now, i want to be able to create this sort of web page structure
http://test1 - points to the 'default' page for my domain. hosted on the DC
http://www.test1 - probably the same thing
http://porn.test1 - just an example, not actually going to host porn 
http://test2.test1 - a page hosted on a separate pc (this as a subdomain mentioned above)
I don't need to do all this - i want to do it so i can learn how. i have tried my best, but all i have been able to accomplish is this:
I make a page on the DC, TEST101. it is accesible by http://test101. if i create a new DNS host for "www" then i can access it only by http://www and http://test101. not www.test1 or www.test101, yet i can ping www.test1... i cant ping test1
same goes for "porn". i make a DNS entry for porn that points to test101's ip and i can ping porn, porn.test1, but can only http to it by http://porn and nothing else
I am using what i think are the correct host headers in IIS but still nothing works how i want it to
Like i said before, i probably should know this as I am almost MCSA... please help sorry for the lengthy post | |

| make a cname for www not a host (a) record in the DNS. | |

| that didn't seem to help... maybe it did a little | |

| Yep, it's the right thing to do. How is your DNS working? | |

| Well i have AD integrated DNS server on the DC... at the moment its just the 2 computers on my test network, DC and my computer (also win2k server but not DC)
so i make a cname for "www" in the "test1" domain... that is aliased to "test101.test1" correct? when i do this, http://www works, but not http://www.test1
same as if i create a host (or alias) for test2 (my computer) i can use http://test2 but not http://test2.test1
can someone explain exactly how a host header should be worded? should it be www or www.test1 or www.test1.test101 or what? | |

| So your Alias looks like? | |

| After a reformat and reinstall, i got it working properly
only difference i can see is i made the test domain a .com type, i.e test1.com rather than test1. now it works fine
thanks for your help guys | |

| I think having a TLD helps the FQDN. |
