windows 2008 DNS Website without www?

Question

Hello, I have a site on my server that only works with a www. example: http://www.dartmouthplayers.ns.ca/ works but without it, it does not. http://dartmouthplayers.ns.ca/

But the site's bindings has both listed:

and the DNS has the blank host record:

What did I not set right?

It's odd because: http://dartmouthplayers.ns.ca/ - returns a 500 error and http://randomtexthere.dartmouthplayers.ns.ca/ - returns a server not found error

thanks!

Answer 1

I would ask this on serverfault.com. From my end, http://dartmouthplayers.ns.ca/ works fine and http://www.dartmouthplayers.ns.ca/ is returning a 500. DNS looks fine as both resolve to 74.84.132.101. It looks like an IIS configuration problem.
