I installed version 4.3.5 on my local Windows XP with local sql 2005 express. It works well locally and decided to transfer the installation to a remote server and remote db sql svr 2005. I copied the dnn files from my local dnn and transferred the database by doing backup/restore to remote svr. I modified the web.config file for the remote database and copied to server.

I activated the new dnn by browsing to the remote domain and received message that dnn installed correctly and the logged into the host account and all looked well except that at some point I realized that the software was executing from the local machine localhost/dotnetnuke instead of the remote site even though I was opening the remote site. 

I know for sure that the remote database is used. I realize that some configuration setting needed to be changed as well and not just the database connection string but I can't figure out what setting tells the portal that it's located on a remote server and not the old localhost.

Can anyone help me?

It sounds like you forgot to add the http alias for the new location to the list of http aliases for your portal (portal settings, when logged on as host at the bottom of the page). You can do that still, but after you did that you need to clear the cache (because the portal alias list is cached), or even recycle the app pool the site is running in (sometime clearing the cache does not work for me....)

cheers,

Erik
