TFS2010: Single Server Deployment wizard, Bad sharepoint URLs - sharepoint

I just installed TFS2010, and set it up with the single server wizard. It installed me Sharepoint Services an let everything working pretty well.
But, the sharepoint URLs it generates from the Server name "server". As my setup is without a domain, the URLs work okay only from the server computer, not from the others.
I have to give access to LAN clients, and Internet Clients, both connected thought my Public Ip.
How can I change those sharepoint IPs from TFS to be generated From the IP, not from the Server's name??
Thanks in advance

Sharepoint is simply an ASP.Net web application sitting on IIS so all the configuration for host headers etc can be added in IIS itself - if you have multiple instance of sharepoint running on the server, you'll have to add URL's using the sharepoint configuration site but most stuff can be tweaked through IIS (IP's its listening on etc)
If you not on an domainan and want people to have access to the site though you'll have to add your machines IP to the DNS server that you clients are using

SharePoint IIS Configuration

I am new at SharePoint and have installed and configured everything, on the local machine (where SharePoint is installed), I connect with the PC name, and everything is working, I can access the front-end and the Central Administration. I have a dns record that points to the ip of the computer. So on another machine, I use the url (intranet.domain.com) to connect. Central Administration works (intranet.domain.com:12548) but when I try to access the front-end (Port 80 - intranet.domain.com) I get the following on my screen
I presume something on my IIS is not setup correctly.
Any advise how I can fix this?
Turns out, I need to create a new Web Application for the new Site Collection

sharepoint designer 2013 issue opening site due to usage of host header

I have two different SharePoint sites on my server which are separated using host headers on IIS.
Everything seems to work fine but I cannot open my sites using SharePoint designer 2013 and it doesn't give any sensible error to work on.
I tried to connect on server as well as on my local machine and tried both domain and IP but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
you must enable sharepoint designer on the web application settings, in central administration.
then, make sure you are site collection admin and enable spd on site collection settings
if you are trying to connect locally, make sure you can resolve the server address. optionally create a hosts entry

Get domain & subdomain of server by console application

Let's take one case that i hosted my web application on window server 2008 R2 and one exe (console application) running on that server.
I can access that web application by URI:
<subdomain>.<domain>.net , is there any way to get subdomain and domain info from EXE (C#) ?
Thanks in Advance.
The answer is... it depends.
If you only have one site hosted on your box then you can just connect to the local instance via either the IP Address the website on the machine resolves too, or by using http://localhost etc.
When you have a URL, the situation becomes more complicated. The machine could be hosting several websites - how do you know which one you want to connect to? In this instance, I would advise just storing the url you want to connect to in config.
However, it should be possible to list the all of the domains from IIS - you'll need to use WMI.

Hosting website from home Windows Server 2008

I have created a website in asp.net and deployed it on IIS. It is working fine locally. Now I want to access this site on internet. I don't want to buy domain name now. So, I am perfectly fine with the URL like this http://120.89.12.32/MyAppName/Default.aspx
Could anyone assist me knowing that if it is possible for me to host my asp.net application from my home? I am using Windows Server 2008 [R2] Enterprise edition.
Yes you can, but you'll need a static IP address. Most people have a dynamic one, unless they've specifically requested a static one. You may have to pay a small surcharge for static.
You can of course just access your site with whatever the current IP is, but being dynamic it will change from time to time.
Also you'll have to make sure that your router's/modem's firewall is configured to relay requests to your server. And make sure that if your ISP also provides a firewall it is configured to allow inbound requests.

multiple ftp sites on a single iis server with one ip

can i have multiple iis ftp sites using something similar to web site's unasigned host headers?
i have a dedicated server in a hosting facility and want to make a web site for each of my clients. to add/ remove files and content i want ftp access to each of the sites root folders.
lets say i have 10 sites set up using unasigned host headers... how can i set up 10 analogous ftp sites on the same server? AND NOT USE A DEFINED IP ADDRESS FOR EACH FTP SITE
thanks all
This is probably more suited for serverfault.
Also, I wouldn't use the built-in Windows FTP server. Check out Filezilla Server. It's free and can handle a bunch of users, sites, etc. on one IP.
Also, drop dead easy to configure.
