Hi,

We have recently change and moved our website to a new host. Everyone
can access our new webpage perfectly outside of the building. However,
when we try to load www.ourdomain.co.uk internally we seem to get page
cannot be displayed. We can access all other pages.

Details of out network:

- We are running Windows Server 2000 with Exchange server.
- Using a private IP address of 10.0.0.*
- Our local domain name is the same as our webpage. e.g.
ourdomain.co.uk
- The server gateway points to a ISDN router
- DNS forwarding rules are set to external dns addresses

A couple of other points:

- On some workstations the gateway has been set manually and the dns
entrys point the server and an external address. This often works

- However, if we copy the exact settings to another workstation it
doesn't work.

- If we set the both DNS addresses manually on a workstation to an
external address it works fine. However, it doesn't seem to pick up
changes. e.g. a spelling correction on the site. Although searching
via google and loading it picks up the changes.


Really hope that there someone out there that can help!

Cheers

Aden

Use the DNS snap in, expand the server, expand Forward Lookup Zones, select
the ourdomain.co.uk zone, if the record named www already exists double
click it and give it the IP of the new host. If the www record does not
exist, click Action Menu, New host, name it www and give it the IP of the
website.
You will probably need to run ipconfig /flushdns before you can access the
site because the old record or the negative record might be in the system
DNS cache.

Thanks Kevin,

I was having the same problem (www site domain name = AD domain name, and
could not view our web site unless hosts file was edited) and these steps
fixed it.
