Q. Where does your client think that http://sharepointnew resolves to?

Does it resolve to the correct remote address? (if so, then you have a SharePoint or IIS configuration problem) If it doesn't resolve to the correct remote address, then perhaps a packet capture may tell you what's going on. Cheers Ken From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 28 May 2010 11:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DNS alias change, no http to alias unless FQDN I have an internal website we connect to by http://<DNSAlias<http://%3cDNSAlias>>. This morning I changed the alias to point to a new server, but while the http://FQDN of the alias works, using just http://hostname doesn't. Example: DNS alias is a CNAME of SharePointNew pointing to a host name of ServerA, and HTTP://SharePointNew.ourcompany.local works, but http://SharePointNew does not. That it would be a NetBIOS thing right? We use WINS, but I see no entry for COMMONS that would tell me something other than DNS is resolving that host name.
