---

Thank you technoman for taking the time to help

ok why not try something i use at home

http://www.wampserver.com/en/

you wont have to have everything all over the place as it is now

delete ... php | apache| mysql and everything else from your vista/ windows computer

Install WAMP on ur Computer

READ ..... Inside MyBB Zip Folder
*ONLY WHATS INSIDE THE UPLOAD NOT ANYTHING ELSE*

ALL FILES | FOLDERS ONLY PUT inside the WWW wamp folder

make sure you put a password on your mysql/phpmyadmin panel to secure it

and then once your installing MyBB just put in the same email for everything once installing

then once your finnsihed

go in ACP email settings provide your Internet Provider SMTP Information into the email settings properly and trust me you will have it all running in less then 5 minutes

email will work and everything else in the palm of your hands

does this wampserver does that replace IIS7 now could i use my godaddy doman would that be easyer

I wouldn't suggest using WAMP to host a public forum, no.

See i want to stick with IIS7

im not familliar with IIS

but if you want ot use windows and not IIS

go to www.DYNDNS.com

register a free subdomain

name it with what they have * try to use a .com *

take the name of DYNDNS the sub domain name

go into godaddy find CNAME

put your FREE registered DYNDNS name as the CNAME

for example

www.godaddy.com (cname) www.dyndns.com

go into router and set your router up to use DYNDNS

in ur router set the DMZ to this ip ur using so
the DYNDNS will always check ur changing ip adress

wait a couple hours once your go daddy is pointed corectly at your HOME IP

email and domain name from go daddy should function 100%

_______________________________

also remember to disable the IIS in your windows settings if your going to try this route
cause you can only host 1 webserver to 1 IP

________________________________

I know this is long way around but if you do it this way trust me you will have it set up in minutes and email and all will function 100%

but hes doing this from home not from go daddy

so for testing purposes he can use wamp to be a alternative to test out out his email
