Behind a router??

[tehon3299]

OK - I am behind a router in my home and therefore when I view my webpage (running on IIS) I need to put in localhost, or my private ip, or my computer name. But now that I am hosting more than 1 web site with IIS, I can not use my computer name because it requires a domain name. How can I fix this? Anyone?

Thanks

Not sure I completely understand what youre trying to do, but all sites on the same box should be addressable via their port number. ie. (localhost:80, localhost:8080, etc.)

That works if each site uses a unique port number, however in the case of most modern web servers, which support virtual hosts, all sites use the same port number and the server differentiates each site by parsing the HTTP requests Host header.
