Im trying to set up an intranet at the office. I have it
pretty much setup but to access the intranet you have to
type in the ip address. How do i go about setting up
something like

"intranet.myoffice.com"

to forward to the ip address so no one has to know the ip
address?
 
On the DNS server responsible for myoffice.com, right-click on the
myoffice.com and choose "New Host(A)". Type in intranet for the name and put
in the IP address of the server hosting the intranet.

Set up a DNS server. :)

We can't provide full documentation on setting up DNS in a news group
post, but if you check your Help you should be able to get most of the
way through it. Come back with specific questions and we'll be happy
to provide specific answers.

This is a very wide topic and difficult to give you ALL the details. I would
suggest reading up on IIS and DNS. I can give you some links to start you
off. I would also suggest to post this to the IIS newsgroup for specific
information about IIS and websites. PRetty much you need to setup
hostheaders in IIS. Here's some links to get you going...

You need to set up a new zone called myoffice.com and

add host entries like "intranet" with the corresponding
ip address for each mapping.
