How to have site appear without requiring "www."

e.g. http://mycompany.com vs. http://www.mycompany.com

I want to have people be able to go to "mycompany.com", as we list in our literature. I'm using IIS 5, Win2K Server SP2... I used to know, but I've since forgotten -- something to do with host headers in the web site properties?

Thanks!

Yes, host headers in the website properties. Add the mysite.com as a host header for port 80 as well.

You might also need to change your zone file for the domain name to indicate that mysite.com also points to the IP address.

It's the same for non-www names such as "support.mysite.com" Just setup the name that way in the zone file and in the host headers for the site on W2K.

That did it. Forgot about the DNS requirement too - thanks!
