Firstly I would like to say that I am a noob when it comes to DNS, I am a web developer and I am trying to setup an intranet site for a charity. I have windows server 2008 and I installed both iis 7 and dns manager.

In IIS I have this binding that works -

Type: http://
IP Address: 192.168.1.9
Port: 80
Host name: 

My host name is empty and when I try to navigate to this website on the network, the http code is 200 and the page renders.

Now if I try Host name of

test.organization.intranet

Internet explorer says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and the server response is aborted.

In DNS manager I created a new forward lookup zone of

organization.intranet

I did this through the configure a dns server wizard and I created a host (A) with the same IP as the one being used in IIS. The full Host name is test.organization.intranet but it doesn't work.

Maybe I am missing something obvious because it's not an area of IT that I know very well, but I am stuck for why I can't get it to work.
