I’m building a MOSS 2007 site on Windows 2008 R2, 64 bit.
Not wanting to use my machine name or IP in the URL, I made an entry in my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 mydev.com

I can surf to the URL, http://mydev.com, but when I try to log in (Windows Authentication), I am denied.
I am able to successfully log in if I take out the hosts file entry, and surf to http://
Do I need to edit something else for the authentication to work when I want to use a custom URL like mydev.com that is only mapped in the hosts file?
