I've just installed a new installation of DNN version 7.

I can view this site from the server where I installed it, by navigating to www.dnndev.me (which I believe just redirects to local IP 127.0.0.1)

However, I'd like to view this new DNN installation from another computer (within our DMZ to develop it).

But, when I type in the IP address of the computer where the DNN installation is - I get an error.
In fact even when browsing to this IP address from the very same computer and typing in 192.168.x.x
or even typing in 127.0.0.1 directly into the browser - I still get the same error.

At first the error was :
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

So then I'm  informed by this help page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942062 ...to enable Directory Browsing
   - Which I did and it didn't make a difference.

And also advised to do this:

"Type the following command, and then press Enter:
 appcmd set config /section:directoryBrowse /enabled:true"

     - Which I did, and now I can see my files as a directory, but when I select the dnndev.ne folder - I get this error:
"Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level." This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

We are using:  Windows 2008 r2, SQL 2008, ASP.net4, and IIS7.

most likely there is an issue with Windows permission or .Net authentication.

That's not quite the case. If you put an entry in your host file for www.dnndev.me and made it resolve to 127.0.0.1 then it RESOLVES to 127.0.0.1. It does not REDIRECT. Redirecting is an operation in the browsers, name resolution is an action in the IP stack.

Most likely you have an IIS binding that binds your DNN install to www.dnndev.me. You don't have the same binding for 127.0.0.1 so when you type 127.0.0.1 into the address bar IIS does not give you the DNN install. Same will apply when you use 192.168.x.x

Read up on IIS bindings.

thanks for the replies.

In IIS, under >> 'Bindings' I did have the url: www.dnndev.me as the host name.

I just modified this to my servers ip address 192.168.x.x

and now I can access from other computers within our DMZ 

cheers
