When I am using a browser running on my IIS server to look at a website 
which is running on that server, what do I put into the address line of said 
browser so that I can bring up said website?  In short, what is the URL 
address to gaze into my navel?  I know about the Zen koan "the sound of one 
hand clapping", but this is the "address for one server/client surfing". 
Time for me to go hum my mantra.

Bruce,
either http://127.0.0.1
or http://localhost
or http://the_ip_of_your_server
or http://the_name_of_your_server

HTH,

Martin,
This is correct, but if WAA is using Context object, it will open different 
sessions (records from waa1srv.dbf). If you build links in on 
http://the_name_of_your_server, it is better to use only http://the name 
..., else you may run into an issue with context variables.

I should have been more specific.  http://server-2 gives me the default 
website.  I want to connect to one of the virtual websites on this server, 
i.e., http://mysite.com.  I think I need to make a DNS entry to accomplish 
this, but I haven't been able to swerve into the correct entries.

In this case, the hosts file at system32\drivers\etc should be sufficient,
no need for DNS...

Thank you, Thomas.  I was insisting on doing it the hard way so I could 
dazzle everyone with my brilliance.  Guess I need to change my IQ bulb.
