url for cognos connection

[karthik.cognos]

Hi,

in order to open cognos connection portal i have to type http://localhost/crn in the browser right, and i can also give the server  name (where crn is installed) instead of localhost, assuming the name of the virtual directory created in IIS is crn.

my prob now is in my comapny the place where crn is installed has the server name  server006.xxxxx.com so my url would be http://server006.xxxxx.com/crn, but i am also able to open cognos connetion portal by typing http://reportnet.xxxxx.com/crn. so i wanted to know how did the guy who installed crn was able to cretae an alias for server006 i.e server006 = reportnet.

any ideas???
