I would like some help (Please).

I want to deploy the DotNetNuke site that I have built on my PC to the Windows web server on my PC (running Windows XP Pro).

Everything works well at 'http://localhost/dotnetnuke/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx'

I cannot connect to DotNetNuke from another PC on the LAN using 'http://192.168.0.106/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx'.

I keep getting the Error Message 'Cannot open the page "http://192.168.0.106/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx" because it could not connect to the server "192.168.0.106"

Why can't it connect to the server???

HOWEVER - I can connect to 'http://192.168.0.106' and any HTML files in the server directory (Directory is C:Inetpub/wwwroot) but not in C:Inetpub/wwwroot/DotNetNuke, in particular the "Default.aspx file".

If I introduce an error into the code of 'config.web' I DO get an error message from both the local and networked PC. In other words I can connect to the Windows server. Why not to DotNetNuke????

Thanks in advance

What I find interesting is that I am able to access the 'Default.aspx' file in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke by duplicating the the line of code in 'web.config' that contains the '<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" />' thereby creating an error that IS detected and displayed (on the PC trying to connect from the LAN using "http://192.268.0.106/fab_alpa/Default.aspx").

"fab_alpa" is a Virtual Directory that points to "DotNetNuke" as shown above (and it works).

When the error is removed I keep getting the Error Message 'Cannot open the page "http://192.168.0.106/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx" because it could not connect to the server "192.168.0.106". 

Settings in DotNetNuke are: ASP.NET Identy: BOOTCAMP\ASPNET, Host Name: bootcamp, Relative Path: /fab_alpa, Physical Path: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke

Where do I edit the "portal alias"?

As you probably realize, this is very frustrating.

Thanks

OK. I'm in business.
I had to create a new Virtual Directory 'fab' as the database would not accept 'fab_alpa'. It doesn't like the underscore between the 'fab' and 'alpa'. I then created a second portal (192.168.0.106/fab) by logging in as 'host' and selecting 'Portals' under the 'Host Tab'.

Thanks for your help Chris. This has been a great learning experience and now I can get some sleep.
