>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>My colleague is still having problems creating a new website.
>>>
>>>He went to DNS manager and created a new zone to associate the domain name with the IP address of the server and created a new DNS record, but the new domain name is still not recognized when we try to run it from the Browser.
>>>
>>>Any ideas what should we try?

>>>Thanks a lot in advance.

>>Is he successful (has he tried) to run a page of this new web site from the localhost?

>Here is what we have. We have multiple websites setup already. He created a directory, copied all the files from working website, then followed the wizard to create new website. All IIS properties seem to be exact the same as other working websites. However, running from the server (by RDP-ing there)
www.newwebsitename.net gives page not found dialog.
I don't know much about DNS and that seem to be the problem. But I was wondering, in my question, if you tried to run a page not using DNS name. For example, you could have run this page as
http://localhost/websitename/somepage.aspx
