I am installing my first SPS 2003 portal. I have had some problems
with getting the installation to work as planned. I finally created a
portal called xyz and a team site called xyz.

I had create a new virtual server for the new portal called xyz, but
when it didn't work as planned (I used host header names instead of IP
addresses and the url wasn;t right for our company), I deleted the
virtual server.

The problem is that now I cannot find the actual portal site where the
news and topic tabs are. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
