I just set up iis and sharepoint STS, everything works great bu I'd like to
access the intranet via http://companyweb as opposed to
http://servername/companyweb. I've set up the cname in DNS, headers do not
work since it is the only virtual site. Any ideas?

Try this (this is not Sharepoint specific):

a) You need to configure some kind of name-resolution (e.g. DNS) so that the
name companyweb -> IP address of your server

b) On your server, try creating a new website. Set the host header value to
be "companyweb". Set the home directory of that site to be whatever the
directory is that you are using as the home directory of STS. You may also
need to configure the necessary Sharepoint ISAPI filters so that requests
get intercepted correctly

Cheers

Thanks Ken, I understand what your saying. Here's what i did. I saved config
to file for sts. Created new website from that file, renamed to Default Web
Site, added header companyweb. All seems good only one problem, both using
same port. Which one should I change port on, original or new one? I'll keep
experiemnrting but keep it coming if you have anymore ideas.

Add the host-header value "companyweb" to your Sharepoint site, and then
both your sites can run off the same IP address + port number.

Website Properties -> Website tab -> Advanced button -> Edit

Cheers
