I've been working at this for the past two weeks and I have not made any progress.

1.  I developed a DNN 4.3.5 site base on the starter kit using VWD 2005 express and SQL Server 2005 Express on my XP workstation.  The site is great and now I want to publish it to my SBS 2003 server.  SBS has a public facing html web page that can be accessed from the internet no problem.  SBS server is fully patched and up-to-date SP1 and hot fixes etc..

2.  Since VWD Express does not have "publish" capability, I used the copy method that is built in.  I get the files transferred no problem, and IIS "sees" them and that looks good.

3.  I have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on the SBS server and it is in mixed mode for authentication.

4.  When I browse from the internet to me newly deployed site, the web server apparently redirects to http://localhost:1613/dnn_website1 and that is where it breaks.

I have several classic .asp web sites in production and I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance...

gerrr...   Problem solved.

I read through all the install notes over and over, and tested and tested.  Never once did I go into the configuration as a possibility to solve this.

Thank you for getting me on the right track!
