Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") is only returning IP

We have the Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") used in a classic ASP
page using IIS 6.

It used to return our website name: www.xxx.name.this when using IIS 5,
now it is returning the IP address when we type the full www. url.

How can I fix this behavior?

Are you sure?

Both SERVER_NAME and HTTP_HOST return the server URL here under IIS6.

I seem to recall that you only get the DNS name if "host headers" are
defined for the virtual site... so maybe a difference in configuration?
