I setup an Intranet on one of the servers in my company and I would like my users to access it some other way than typing in the server name in Internet Explorer. Is there a way I can make up a .com and have it point to my server ?

Goto the Corporate Server's IIS panel and create another web site. As an example (Company-intranet). If this is another server, yuou suppose to have an specific IP address of the site which should be defined in the DNS server. You should use this IP address in the IIS for created intranet site. Then stop the IIS and then restart it.

If Intranet site is on the same server, all you have to do is just create a web site in the IIS. If you want to bind a specific IP address for the intranet follow up the instraction above.

I hope this info works out for you.

There are two ways to do this: The first, and best, way is to set up an internal DNS server. You can then choose any name you want and have DNS tell the workstations where to find the web site.

The other way is to have a HOSTS file on each workstation that associates your chosen name to the IP address of the web server.

One other thing you can do is configure the IE on the desktop to point to the intranet server when it first comes up so that becomes the default home page.

If your users don't want their default home page set to your intranet, why not just set up a shortcut on the desktop pointing to the appropriate URL? It's not fancy, but it works.......
