Hello, I realise this is almost certainly an IIS issue but it still made sense to ask here. I used the MakeDNNSite tool to create an new DNN site on my Windows 2008 Server. I am also running a full-blown version of SQL Server 2008 on the same box. After running MakeDNNSite, I am able to sign into my DNN site using the url (http://emradlive) on the actual server. So far so good. The problem I have is that I cannot access this site from any other machine. I tried creating a new binding (http://live.emrad.com) on the server using port 80 but this doesn't work on the server or elsewhere. I am pretty sure that it is not a firewall issue as I am able to see the IIS7 Splash Page if I navigate to the server from another machine. Trying the server name plus the new binding (http:/live.emrad.com) just gives me a 404 page. My intention is to use this server to host a couple of external DNN sites. I have a single static IP address and have created a PIN hole through my firewall to allow traffic to get to this server on port 80. I figure that when I get this first site up and running, I will need to amend the IIS configuration so that DNN is running as a dedicated user instead of the current logged in user. I assume I need to create a new user, get IIS to run the site as this user and give the user access to the database. I haven't done any of this yet because I want to get the site running internally but I am wondering if this could be the cause of my problem? Apologies, IIS has moved on a bit since I used it last ... Kind Regards Greg

Your problem is that your other computers do not know where to look for the site. If you are on a local network, other computers should be able to browse to http://computername/sitename where computername is the name of the computer and sitename is the name of the virtual directory. You will need to set up a portalalias for this combination, too.

Hello Joseph, thanks for your advice. I eventually tracked the problem down to being incorrect bindings within my DNN site. Now that they are fixed everything seems to be working fine. I can access the site from local network machines and via my external IP address. Thanks again. Greg
