iis 6 on a windows 2003 server - can see site on local host, not from

On my windows 2003 server with IIS 6 I can see manipulate and navigate
my test site -

http://localhost/dotnetnuke/

BUT when I try to access it by -

http://MachineName/dotnetnuke/

or

http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx/dotnetnuke/

from any other machine on the network I can not view the site???????
I have the site IP address on the properties form set to all
unassigned. I am lost and reading the IIS 6 manual, if you can help
please respond with ideas.

The firewall is not ON on the server or on the machine I am using.

Thanks -ROBB

Check the IIS log file for the website. If you do not see any entries
in there for the failed access attempts, then something else OUTSIDE
of IIS is preventing access to the server from other machines.
Firewall or Proxy Client settings come first to my mind.

Basically, you will have to treat this as a networking issue and not
IIS issue -- thus reading "IIS Manual" will likely not be useful. You
have shown IIS is functioning fine with http://localhost/dotnetnuke

Hi,

I do not know the meaning of "can not view the site" thus i cannot really
give much help. I would need more information of what you exactly see in the
browser, what IIS returns and what is logged in the IIS log file.

But, i know that people have reported similar problems using dotnetnuke. It
seems that you need to add a HTTP alias to use something else but localhost,
as per this forum post:

Perhaps this is the issue for you too.

Great link, this text from the link worked PERFECTLY! :)

Login as host and select Site Settings from the Admin menu. Down near
the bottom you will see the portal alias box. Add ,machinename/
dotnetnuke after localhost/dotnetnuke and click Update.
