Local Website

[Scott]

I have a website running on my network. Everything works
great outside the private network. My modem does not
allow loopback (all computers on my network run on the
same ip address I just have the port forwarded to the
webserver). I want to be able to access my website
without using //computername/website to be able to access
the site. Is there a way I can access my website typing
http://www.mywebsite.com within my private network?

Thanks,

Scott

Is DNS installed on your Local network?
Do you have a forward lookup zone on it for mywebsite.com?
Put a host in it named www and give it the private IP address of you web
server.
