Yes. You will need to go into the IIS Manager (the same thing with which you've probably
already gotten familiar), and right click on your web site (the first one is generally
named "default web site"), and select properties.
On the tab named "Web Site" you will see the following:
IP Address: Usually says "All Unassigned" and then an "advanced" button. Click the
advanced button, and then press "add..."
Now, instead of putting in an IP Address, type to which you want it to respond.
MyServer.ExampleSite.Com for example. You can also just put MyServer. (I only use
upper and lower case letters so it is easier to read. Capitalization doesn't matter.
)
Do this for both, and when you click OK, and go back to the first screen, the one
with the properties for your Web site, make sure that in "IP Address" it now says
"MyServer" or "MyServer.ExampleSite.com," or whatever you typed. Do this for both
of your Web sites, and they should respond. If you would like further information,
this is referred to as using "host header names" for multiple sites.
Also, here are two Microsoft tutorials for doing so, just in case my instructions
were not clear enough.

Both links tell basically the same information, but it's always good to have it written
a few different ways, because sometimes what makes perfect sense to me may be complete
gibberish to the person on the other end.
Reply here if you have any further questions, and I will endeavor to get your problem
resolved.
