Desktop XP PRO SP2, IIS 5.1 with both .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0, MS SQL server 2005, VS 2005. Internal IP: 192.168.1.199
I installed the original DNN 3.2.2 (with changes (1). renamed release.config to web.config and (2). modified its SQLConnectionString setting) on this machine and it runs fine locally as http://localhost/dnn. On IIS, the ASP.NET version set to run this app is 1.1.
However, when accessing this site through my laptop (XP Pro SP2, .NET 1.1, SQL server 2000, InternalIP: 192.168.1.100) as http://192.168.1.999/dnn, the page just won't load, the IE hangs and some javascript error occurs as "object required", of course, the site alias has been added to as 192.168.1.999/dnn.
I checked my laptop's local settings/Temp Internet Files/ and only found dnn.js, no dnncore.js or spmenu.js which have been verified existing at the server. I tried adding the following lines to the header of default.aspx right before <asp:placeholder ...> :
<script src="dnn/js/dnncore.js"></script>
<script src="dnn/controls/SolpartMenu/spmenu.js"></script>
<script src="dnn/js/dnn.js"></script>
then I cleared my temp internet file and reload the page, and this time, I see dnncore.js, no the other two, and the IE still hangs. (IE's two "Disable Script ..." checkboxes are unchecked while "Display a notification ..." is checked)
On the other hand, I installed the same DNN at my laptop (192.168.1.100) and it runs fine locally AND is fully functional and accessible from 1.199.
I have tried removing and re-installing IIS at the troubling machine 1.199 yet the problem persists.
Both the machines have ZoneAlarm installed. I tried leaving them on and turning them off, yet the same result. DNN installed at the laptop always runs fine regardless.
My desktop 1.199 used to have only .NET 1.1, MS SQL SRV 2000 and has been hosting DNN 3.1 and 3.2.1 (?) successfully before. Recently I put up the whole new VS 2005 + SQL Srv 2005, and here I bumped into this mind bugging problem. I don't know what went wrong and what to do, please help!
Many many thanks!
