    Hi every body,

    I have successfully loaded the DNN Portal application. And can browse to the site using internet explorer web browser form the application server where my DNN installation is hosted.

    Here is the problem. If I try to browse to the DNN portal site from a remote client PC, the site fails to load.

    This is what I have observed, When I browse to the DNNSite from the application sever I use the following URL http://localhost/dnnroot

    and this works fine.

    When I browse from a remote client PC I cannot use http://localhost/dnnroot , localhost wont work because there is no webserver running on the clinet PC. I have to use the IP address of the hosted server which is 192.168.2.222 so the URL I use to browse to the Hosted DNN Site is http://192.168.2.222/dnnroot/defaul...spx , when this is entered into the browser, the browser returns and a page with an altered URL  "http://localhost/dnnroot " the IP address 192.168.2.222 has been replaced with "localhost" and the error on the page reads "page connot be displayed" message.

    I beleive there is a URL redirector statement in the code somewhere which redirect a clients direct URL to Localhost prevent browser access to the site from remote client machines, can someone please explain how to turn this off so that external client can browse the site.
