Create new site collection but page cannot be dislayed

Question

Hi all,
im pretty new when it comes to Sharepoint.So far installation was successfull and i can access central administration page.
I then changed Alternate access mapping from http://intra01/ (intra01 was probably addes,since computer has this name during setup)  to http://intra
When i click the link,i only get this page cannot be displayed.
When i created two new site collections,it is shown as http://intra/sites/main (where main was the name i gave for first site collection).
When i click the link,i only get this page cannot be displayed.Same is for 2nd site i created.
When i change Alternate access mapping for Central administration,this also fails and gives me page cannot be displayed.If i instead enter intra01,then i can access central administration.This does not work for the 2 site collection i created.
What have i missed?
thanks!

Hi
let me split the issue
<<I then changed Alternate access mapping from http://intra01/ (intra01 was probably addes,since
computer has this name during setup)  to http://intra>>
you are accessing your CA with http://intra1?
and next you are trying to access it using http://intra?
Did you installed CA on port 80?
Anyway, please check if you can resolve the new name used in AAM , intra.
If you can't please check your DNS configuration
Come back with results and details. thanks
