Setting up DNS on serer 2008 R2

freaksavior · Sep 30, 2010

How can I setup a domain name so i don't have to use my IP. I own 3 domain names. I know usually you need 2 ip address, but can I set it up with one?

edit: I think I just figure it out. I am going to edit the DNS of one of my domains ftp ip address. that should work.

this is confusing. do you want to setup a DNS server on the windows box or do you want to just assign an domain name to your ip?

Haha sorry,

Basically what I want(ed) to do is instead of typing in my IP for FTP they can use a domain. So I am going to try and change the IP in the DNS record to my IP instead of the one that is their currently.

I have no idea if it will work, but I will find out.

just forward your domain to your ip

I own a few domains, I have them pointing to various IPs. I also have subdomains within them pointing to other IPs.

So instead of typing in x.x.x.x in RDP I can type in subdomain.mydomain.com and connect to it.

Didn't think about that one.

Thanks

I think you only have to tell your server only if you want proper loopback
