    This is going to be a very dumb question, so please don't laugh too hard.  I got DNN up and running on my server.  Little bit a hickups, but worked through it with all your help.  Now the dumb part.  It is cureently http://localhost/Mytest to the URL.  How do I go about changing it to http://mytest and be able to view it from other computers in my network.  I know this is more an IIS question than a DNN, but I am new to IIS and web applications.  If you want a domain controller setup with  OUs and group policies, NP.  I can do, but I have nver really messed with web app stuff before.

No dump question, just ignorance.

1. Install DNN in the root of your iis server so you can access it using http://localhost

2. Add new http alias at Admin>Site Settings page.

3. Add mytest as a new alias of the server inside DNS administration.

Step 2 is not really needed at this time, but if you want to add a second site newtest you will just add it using Host>Portals>Add New Portal and jump to step 3.

Ok, I tried that and could not access anything.  I went back to installing it in a directory under c:\dotnetnuke.

When I go to http://localhost/dotnetnuke  I can view the site with NP.  When I go into the default web site in IIS and change the Default Web Site setting IP address from (All Unasigned) to the server's IP address of 192.168.0.33 and nav to http://192.168.0.33/dotnetnuke I get a page can not be displayed error.  I have even tired to put the full computer name into the URL (http://win2k3entavserv.CascioMusicCompany.local/dotnetnuke) I still get the error page not found.  When I go to just http://win2k3entavserv.CascioMusicCompany.local  I get the standard This page is under constrution.  I also get that when I http://localhost. 

Now when I try and goto http://win2k3entavserv.CascioMusicCompany.local from a differant computer (not the server) I get:

Directory Listing Denied

This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

When I  go to http://win2k3entavserv.casciomusiccompany.local/dotnetnuke I get:

No web site is configured at this address.

and the website URL changes from http://win2k3entavserv.casciomusiccompany.local/dotnetnuke to http://localhost/dotnetnuke on the computer.

What am I not doing?  Were in IIS is the right configure?  Has any got this to work in an interanet setting?
Does the Express Version of SQL have anything to do with it?

  I know once I can get the IP addreass to work from other computers in my network, then I can go into the DNS and make a Host "A" record for a name.
