I thought that SQLExpress might be the issue...

So I reinstalled with a proper SQL Server 2005 database.

And STILL not able to have users login from a remote machine....

So, now... can anyone please help me here?

It must be something wrong with my IIS set up or something?

I followed the install instructions for setting up the virtual directory to the letter...

This is all very disappointing.. I've used postnuke and joomla up to this and they both installed without a hiccup....

Hello Leopold!

And thank you very much for taking the time to help! It is much appreciated.

I think I need to restate my problem.

I think I followed the install instructions exactly. And I have a working installation... I can log into DNN without problems when I am using a browser on my local machine ( called IT_01). But when I go to another machine (called TEST) and point a browser back to my machine (IT_01) then I can see the DNN site but I cannot login....

I am using the DNN admin account,  and have not changed the password, just using the defaults like it says on the home page.... I can start IE on IT_01 and point at localhost/DNN4/Default.aspx and I can log in using admin.
Then I go to the TEST machine, start IE, point it at IT_01/DNN4/Default.aspx and I see the home page, just fine... and when I click on login.. I get to the login page.. but when I again try to log in (using admin) .. nothing happens.. I put in the correct password and just get redirected back to default .aspx I don't get logged in...

I don't know what is happening.. and I don't know how to turn on debugging or to get a logfile created or whatever...

If you could tell me how to do that then maybe I could help myself?

Thanks
