All,

I have a network related issue that may not be specific to DNN but I'm out of my element on this one and taking a shot that someone can help.

My new intranet is almost ready to go live.  It's on a Windows Server 2008 server and has a new site created in IIS called "Dotnetnuke".  Accessing the site was possible using the following URL:

http://<server name>:86/

86 is the port assigned to the website.

In order to test the site prior to going live, I asked our network group to add a temporary DNS entry/hostname to the network called "Intranettest" that should point to or resolve the the new DNN site.  They assigned it a static IP and I can see it in IIS (10.200.100.191:86) when I look at the website on the web server.  However, when I type "Intranettest" in my browser I get the following error:

Not Found

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.

I tried all variation of that hostname including child portals and even page names that I know exist.  No luck.

Since I'm a developer and not a network engineer, I'm limited in network knowledge and have no clue what's causing the issue but figured I make a post in case anyone here would be able to assist.

TIA,
Mark

Hey Mark,

This maybe a dumb/obvious question, but did you add a portal alias for Intranettest?

Rich,

I did but I found the issue - the host record wasn't added to IIS and that was the issue. It's been added and all is well.

Thanks,
Mark
