SUMMARY
This article describes how to configure SharePoint Portal Server so that you can browse your extranet Web site using your IP address.



MORE INFORMATION
In certain situations, you may have to gain access to your portal through your IP address instead of through the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or through the NetBIOS name of the server. To configure this functionality:  Log on to the Microsoft Windows 2000 server as an administrator. Configure the settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer as follows:  Start Internet Explorer, and then click the Tools menu. Click Internet Options. Click the Connections tab. Click Lan Settings. Click to clear the Automatically detect settings check box and the Use automatic configuration script check box.</li> Click to select the Use a Proxy Server for your LAN check box and the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box.</li> Click Advanced.</li> In the Exceptions box, type the first octet of the IP Address that you are trying to use with a wildcard character. For example:

10.*

If other exceptions are already specified, you must separate the individual entries with a semi-colon character.</li> Click OK three times.</li> Quit Internet Explorer.</li></ol> </li> To configure the Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) proxy configuration settings: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> Click Start, and then click Run. Type CMD, and then click OK.</li> Type the following at the command prompt:

cd /d %ProgramFiles%\share*\bin

Press ENTER.

NOTE: This step assumes that the Bin folder of the SharePoint installation is located in the default location.</li> Type the following at the command prompt:

proxycfg -u

Press ENTER.</li> Type the following at the command prompt:

iisreset /restart

Press ENTER.</li> To close the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER.</li></ol> </li></ol>
