there are 2 different areas you need to look at.

1st) www.abconline.com and abconline.com are host headers. In IIS, go to the website, click properties, go to Advanced on the properties page (it will be next to the host headername/IP) on th right.

Add the hostname abconline.com and bind it to the same IP of www site and assign it to port 80.

Start and stop that web site

2) FTP- Your web server, as long as you installed the FTP Service, Should have a default FTP site. Configure it so that it has an IP Instead of "all unassigned"

In dns, create an host entry for ftp.abconline.com and point it to the IP that you have bound for your ftp server.

Start and stop the FTP site.

You should now be able to ftp to that server.

Do not forget to assign NTFS permissions to the FTP directories. Anonymous FTP is all bad. Control Permissions via NTFS!

Encountered problems on IIS, I tried Netscape Enterprise Server running as service on win NT server 4.0.
1.)make sure your emulation is up and running as well as ip propication of available IP host address which you have set up.
2.)Moving to Netscape Enterprise Sever should fix these and other problems you may be having with IIS.
