Hi,
thanx for replying.
Even if i enter only localhost(or 127.0.0.1) in browser default web site should automatically come.If i enter Ip address only, default web site automatically come on browser.
Actually i have the IIS application which uses localhost to display asp page that it creates on browser.Here when i run my IIS application every time i have to change localhost to my ip address in browser.
If you can suggest more on that??
thanx.

I don't known if I undestand the problem... but look at

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\HOST

I have this entry...

127.0.0.1 localhost
