This is an alternative to the "disable loopback check" which is no longer recommended by Msft due to security concerns related to local activation. Problem You are able to browse SharePoint normally from external sources, but when you attempt to access SharePoint on the local server for anything other than the machine name you are presented with multiple login prompts that ultimately result in a login error Explanation The http request fails because a loopback check runs and fails preventing Kerberos from succeeding (because there's no SPN for the url you are using to access SharePoint)...
