Hello, and Thank you ahead of time for your answers. I have two domains (e.g. www.abc.com, www.xyz.com) that I wish to host from the same IIS 4.0 server (running on NT 4.0 SP6a). I am currently at a crossroads as how to configure such a setup without causing havoc to the pre-existing website (i.e www.abc.com). I believe that this might involve the allocation of an extra IP address, but again I am not sure, both on configuration or application. Currently, I have the main site set to "Any Assigned Address" within the MMC (Microsoft Management Console), under it's Properties menu. When I originally tried to activate the second web site, I could not start it, because of the binding of the original web site to the ports applicable to hosting.

Any answers, help, guidelines, or web sites pertaining to this would be appreciated.

Thank you again,

Leo

You will need two IP addresses on this server to make things easy for you. (You could use a single IP address anad host headers but that would presume that people viewing your web site had browsers that supported host headers).
Then go to properties of abc.com and use the older IP address for it. Next use the newer IP address on xyz.com

Thank you! DO you have any specifics on the allocation of the second IP addresss to the server? I would assume that I would just add a TCP/IP Protocol to the NIC card going to my DSL connection, correct?

Thanks again,

Leo Romero
