I have a DNN site set up on my windows XP machine locally with configuration shown below:

OS Version: Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3
Web Server Version: Microsoft-IIS/5.1
.NET Framework Version: 4.0.30319.1
ASP.NET Identity: PC1\ASPNET
Computer Host Name: pc1
Physical Path: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dnn
Site Url: localhost/dnn
Relative Path: /dnn
The home page of the site viewed locally is: http://localhost/dnn/Home.aspx

I'm trying to configure hosting this site over the internet using dyndns, which points to my router IP address with a port forward to the XP machine.
I can successfully point to a test index.htm file located in root of C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and view it from outside my router.
What do I need to do to get my Home.aspx file to be called? I'm probably missing some basic understanding of IIS and DNN.

Thanks for any advice.

DNN will need to have a portal alias added for the domain name that you ar using.  This can be done under "Admin" -> "Site Settings" when logged in as a host.

Thanks, that did the trick!. By the way, is there any way to get around having to append the /dnn folder name to the end of my url, or is that just the way it is? /dnn is the relative path. Thanks again.

If you've got IIS working through dyndns and you can view the site locally you probably just need to add a portal alias:

Login to DNN as a superuser
Go to Host->Portals
Edit the portal and look under Advanced Settings->Portal Aliases

For example, you might already have:
localhost/dnn
pc1/dnn
192.168.1.10/dnn

If your dnydns login is tonyna you'll need to add: tonyna.dyndns.com/dnn

I have somewhat similar situation to Tony's (a site hosted by No-IP.com) on IIS 7.5, Win7 64-bit, DNN 6.0.1 and I can't cope with relative paths to files on my localhost/dotnetnuke server vs. the same files on my www site.

The physical path on both is the same: "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke" by they differ in relative paths:

local is "/dotnetnuke"
remote is "/"

I have both aliases pointing to:
on localhost: "localhost/dotnetnuke" (default) and my site's URL (without the "http://")
on remote: my site's URL (without the "http://") (default) and "localhost/dotnetnuke"

For obvious reasons and due to such discrepancy I need to write code focusing on my remote website relative paths.

Is there any way of matching the relative paths in both locations?

Any straightforward advice would be appreciated - even that that I will have to live with such DNN's feature.
