I tried the response but didn't work. Everything is
pasted below.

Hi,

Windows 2000 server with DNS, no "." in forward lookup
zone.
Our web site is hosted outside "www.domain.com"
From inside the LAN you can't hit that but you can using
the external IP. Added a new host record to DNS for "www"
and pointed to external IP - didn't work.
Any help?

Try this method: In your local forward lookup zone for
domain.com create a
new Delegation named "www" and point it to the Public
Authoritative DNS
servers, You must use the authoritative not just an
external DNS.
Run ipconfig /flushdns

Which did you try, either should work I prefer the delegation because it
lets the authoritave DNS resolve it.
Can you tell me what the domain name is?

If you run ipconfig /displaydns is the www.domain.com cached with the
correct IP address?
