IIS, set dns name to IIS web site

Question

Hello, How to set name to web site in IIS for browsing in LAN?

I've tried to change in hosts

192.168.198.83      mySite

but it doesn't work (required page is not opened)

I can remember IP addresses but other peoples do not want, so will be good to set friendly names.

Operating System Windows 7, IIS 7.

Don't forget to set the binding in IIS.

Go to IIS select the website then click on action Bindings.

The binding should look like:

Type: http / Host Name: MySite / Port: 80 / IP Address: 192.168.198.93
