Hi,
I am a new enthusiast in DotNetNuke and this is my first posting in the forum. I have developed & tested some sites(using DNN 441 to 455), which are working FINE when browsing/accessing from localhost. BUT not working from outside internet. It would be highly appreciated if someone come forward and help me in resolving the problem. Here is the relevent scenario and clues.
1) My Configuration : Home Server Windows 2003 R2, Development PC : Windows XP SP2, DNN Using: DNN 441 to 455 installed in respective Virtual Directories, IE : Version 6 in one machine and Version 7 in another machine.
2) Developed sites (tested in 441 & 455) browse well when accessing as http://localhost/MySite/Default.aspx either directly from the IE or from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. But when I replace localhost either with server name or IP address (e.g http://myServer/MySite/Default.aspx OR http://10.196.192.1/mySite/default.aspx) to access from outside world it is not working and issuing "page cannot be found msg" as follows;
The page cannot be found

| The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. |
Please try the following:
- If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
- Open the
localhost home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
- Click the Back button to try another link.
HTTP 404 - File not found

Further more the server name or the IP address from the url is not not retaining as entered rather changing to localhost.
3) FYI, I have developed and tested other non - dotnetnuke sites ( in VS 2005, with Ajax, Databound..) which were easily accessible from outside interent using the IP address of my personal server. In fact I am using my home server to host my sites instead of any hosting ISP.
Please let me know, what i am missing or where is the dnn catch. For further information, I have tested by installing DNN as StarterKit, Install Package and Source Package,, but the end result is same.. it is perfectly working from localhost, but not from outside.
