Hi

Its been at least a year since I played with my DNN site and ive forgotten how to create a temporary site.  I.e. not using a domain name.  I am sure I have done it a load of times before

Cheers

There are many ways to do it, but you could modify your hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and point a non-existant domain name to your local machine install.

Otherwise, you can use the local host setup in IIS normally.

My DNN installation is live on the web so altering my hosts file will not help.  I need to create a portal on my current site without a domain name for a couple of weeks.  If that makes sense

You will have to contact your hosting provider to see if there's a temp url for use..
