Hello,

I replied to you in windows.server.setup. This was what i said in case you
have lost that thread:

--- First Message ---
You cannot have two websites running on the same port, without using host
headers. If you have two websites configured to use port 80, then you must
add a host header, so IIS can distinguish them, and know which of them the
visitor want.
--- End ---

--- Second Message ---
This is not changed. This is required, no matter if you run IIS, Apache, or
another webserver. (unless you have several IPs).

Here are a few articles for Host Headers:

IIS 5.0
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;%5BLN%5D;190008

IIS 6.0
http://www.visualwin.com/host-header/

--- End ---
