This is a newly installed DotNetNuke site on a VM.  I can access the site locally when I am logged into the VM and navigate to the the site, but every time I attempt to access it from my physical computer or some other remote location, I get the message stating Bad Request - Invalid Hostname. 

The only thing I can think of is that the Host URL is http://www.dotnetnuke.com.  I used this as the default setting.  Any information is appreciated.

Under Host->Site Management you need to set up an alias for the site. You probably have to set it up to point to either your VMs IP or computer name.

Mike: Thank you for your idea. 

Our group attempted a number of other ideas as well and still could not get dotnetnuke to work properly.  Eventually I just restored the server to a previous state and tried a fresh installation without success.  Unfortunately, I will have to eliminate dotnetnuke from the list of CMS products that are being evaluated.  It is too bad since I was hoping for an easier integration between dotnetnuke and our existing Windows Server environment.

Bad Request - Invalid Hostname is actually an IIS response, isn't it? Are you able to navigate to ANY IIS website? BEFORE you install DotNetNuke, see if you can properly reach a "hello world" HTML page to ensure that IIS and your routing is setup correctly. This sounds much more like a simple routing problem.

Cheers.
