i am using an asp.net 2.0 webpage to access AD[Active Directory] to retrieve some information from Active Directory,
when i run my application from visual studio 2k5 i get the data i want from AD.
but when i try to view the page by just typing it in my web browser i get the following error thrown The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
i am not sure because when i run it via visual studio the addy is this:http://localhost:2855/WebAuthentication/Default.aspx
and when i type it in my webbrowser the addy is http://localhost/WebAuthentication/Default.aspx
i am wondering if the port number :2855 is whats making it work when visual studio runs the website but when i try to view it normally it doesn't work.
is there something i need to configure? this is the first i working with asp.net 2.0 and windows authentication[oh yea i forgot to mention that. i am using windows authentication] so i am not sure if i did something wrong
