Binding to IP Address

A server that I am working with (running windows 2003
standard) has multiple IP Addresses on it's only Network
Interface.

In IIS Manager, when I create a website, I can only see
(All Unassigned) and the interface's Primary IP. It does
not list the additional IPs allocated to that interface.

This problem appears to affect other utilties on the same
server, so as to not allow me to bind to a specific IP
(unless I manually type it in in IIS). My other utilities
do not allow me to manually type in the IP.

Any suggestions why all the IPs are not visible in the IP
Address Selection in IIS?

Nevermind.. I found the answer.

I had the server's name in it's hosts file, with the
single IP.. I did not reallize that gethostbyname was
being used, and that that function first queried the hosts
file.

After removing the entry, all IPs showed up properly.
