Author URL to point to website on different port

Hello,

I have IIS6 running on server 2003. Besides the default website which is on
port 80, I have another website called WSS( for sharepoint services) running
on port 90. What I want to do is on a users computer, I want to be able to
type in at the URL http://servername/websitename instead of using it with the
port like this http://servername:90/websitename.
Do I have to do anything on IIS or DNS or both to get this to work or is
just not possible. Thanks.

John

you can use Host Headers in conjunction with either a local DNS service or
the client machine's HOSTS file to do this

both will be running on port 80 and differentiated by the hostname
