Hi,
I have deployed my ASP.Net Site in one of our server which is in ip format. So, I used to browse it like…
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/MySite
But, I want to get out of this IP and give some text. How can I achieve this.
Also, I can’t change the Host alias name.
Thanks
Sreenath.

If this IP address is in your intranet, then you can simply modify your local machine's hosts file to achieve this. Not sure about the procedure to achieve this for a public IP though.

The hosts file reside under "\System32\drivers\etc" file under your windows folder.

To do this using IIS, you can follow instructions below.
1. Select appropriate web site in "inetmgr"
2. Find and click "Bindings"
3. edit the existing entry, where you have specified the IP address.
4. Add "Host Name" in the "Edit site binding" dialog.
5. Click "Ok" and then "close"

Hope this helps !
