IIS Returns IP Address Instead of Host Name

ID: Q148763

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you connect to an Internet Information Server from any web browser, the Uniform Resource Location (URL) address that you enter changes. For example, the following URL address:

http://www.microsoft.com/devonly

changes to the following:

http://198.105.232.5/devonly/

CAUSE

This problem occurs if you do not enter a trailing forward slash (/) to the end of the URL address. When the web browser sends the original address, the server responds by indicating that it has moved, along with the IP address of the site (which is itself).

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, include a trailing forward slash (/) at the end of the URL address.
