I have a very similar problem...

DotNetNuke version: 3.2.0
Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition
IIS 6.0
Sequel Server 2000

I have installed DotNetNuke, and it works fine when accessing from the machine it is installed on. But when another machine, either from the local network, or the internet, tries to browse it, they are redirected to http://localhost/ and as a result do not reach the website.

In Enterprise Manager, I have tried to change the HTTPAlias in the PortalAlias table from 'localhost' to our web address, but this just creates an infinite loop as it is constantly redirected to the same address. I need to know how to make the website accessible from the outside.

Vanderlan, 

Your best solution would be to host your site somewhere.  There are some good inexpensive hosts out there that would work for you well and protect you from possibly having your internet connection cancled as well as speed up access for people looking at your page.

If you just put  www.vanderland.com in your portals alias it should work fine but you might have problems connecting to it from inside. Try adding Localhost:9080/ for local connections and not the IP address of the box itself.

I'm running 4.0.2 on a normal web server.  The portal alias is the same as the domain name ( dnn4.dorkian.com ).  For whatever reason, the site doesn't work.  It continously redirects to itself.

I think there may be a problem with DNN 4.0.2
