I moved my forums (paid license) and database over the weekend to a new server.  The move went nice and smooth.  The only problem I have it, I can log into the forums at the server, but not from the Internet.

Examples:

I can log in successfully using http://localhost/forum.

When I go to www.mysite.com/forum, which is how I always have gotten there before, the site says I have successfully logged in, but returns me to the main forum page and I am not logged in.  I can click "Login" again, put in my info, get the message stating "Your login was successful, please wait while you are returned to the Forum", but then it returns me again not logged in.

So you know, I did modify the database_connection.asp file already with the new DB server settings.

I'm sure it has to do with me moving the forums, but I am not sure what to check.  Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Are you connecting directly to your web site or are you using a service which forwards to the web site or a dynamic DNS service?

Directly.  I think I have it now.  I had to make some slight adjustments in IIS, plus I think the browser on the machine I was using was messed up.

I went to a different computer outside my home network and tried it and I can log in fine with both IE and Firefox.

Thanks for the response.
