>Right click on the site in IIS, select the 'Web Site' tab and click the 'Advanced' button. You can use "Add" to define the IP address used by the site (obviously this needs to be a valid IP address defined by the machines network connections). You can then use something like "http://192.168.0.121/x.html" in a browser. If you want to use a domain name then it's up to something like your DNS, local HOSTS file etc. to perform the required mapping.

If I may ask you a follow up question, please. How to do you "translate" the IP in the URL to a descriptive name? For example, I was installing the app on another customer's server and they put the URL for the main page to be:

http://somename.companyname.org/mypage.aspx

Do I understand correctly that the "somename.companyname.org" is equal to some IP like "192.168.0.121"?
