For visitors to reach your site and see your pages, your site must have a unique identity on the Internet or your local intranet. The way the "friendly name" for your site name is resolved to an address reachable by other computers depends on the name resolution system available on your network.
This section includes:
- About Name Resolution: The various kinds of naming systems available, how they work, which system to choose for your situation, and rules for assigning names and IP addresses to your sites.
- Verifying Your Computer Identity: Checking on your Windows computer name and IP address.
