WIN2K DNS Config - Can't hit our external website with same name as domain

[James G. McDermott]

Hi folks.

I have a Win2K Server running Active Directory, Exchange 2000 and function
as a DC. Small network - 5 users.

Anyways, we have our website hosted by a external third party ISP. We can
hit the website from outside the LAN (through dial up, home broadband, etc.)
but can't resolve the name internally. Our domain name (mycompany.com) is
the same as the website (www.mycompany.com), so I pretty sure I need to
change a DNS issue or routing setting so that the request
(www.mycompany.com) is directed externally.

Thanks for any and all help

Jim
