Domain Name Service (DNS) lets you type in a friendly domain name (such as google.com) without remembering the IP address for your website's server (a series of numbers separated by periods). You must enable DNS lookup on your Windows web server to enable DNS services for your web server. This is accomplished in the Windows command line prompt with only one line of code. This is a quick way to let users type friendly names into a web browser for websites on a local web server.
Instructions
1. Click the Windows "Start" button. Type "cmd" into the text box and press "Enter." This opens the command line utility.
2. Type "cd \" and press "Enter." This points the prompt to the root directory. Type "C:\Inetpub\Adminscripts" and press "Enter." This points the prompt to your main administration directory for the web server.
3. Type "adsutil set w3svc/EnableReverseDNS TRUE" and press "Enter." This turns on the DNS lookup service for your web server.
