Dear Friends I am planning to use snitz forum on my iis server, and allow web visitors to my official web site to be able to come n visit my pc. But it wont be on all the time. I switch it off for a few hours. In that case if a vivitor visits n clicks a link on iis server hyperlink he wont get an access to my pc iis server, though i am using no-ip.com to avoid ip problem. Can u pl write a few lines of script to redirect the user back to my web site hosted on web server, where he can signin and use another copy of snitz there? The main reason of using forum on iis is webspace problem. Pl suggest.
I think the easiest method would be to write include code within the snitz forum software that is running on your pc to "checkin" with the remote website. When you shut down the web server, your code should "check out". Obviously, this calls for running routines in the Application On-Start events in global.asa.
Then whenever anyone visits the remote site, the code there can examine whatever variable or data you have set to determine if your pc is "up". If so, it redirects to you. If not, it does not.
Thats a pretty good idea!! I got no-ip.com dynamic DSN. Guess it will also do the job. But will i be able to merge posts on my actual website forum into my IIS server forum and make it one?! Thank You
