Hello,

The problem I am having is that our web site is not viewable using the internal network; it is viewable outside the network though. When using the URL of inside the network you just get the page cannot be displayed error screen (and occasionally the Microsoft search screen). The web server is also the DNS server. Is there a way to tell the server, when it receives the page request to forward the request to the IIS server (itself essentially) rather then using the secondary DNS server which is the ISP. When using the URL however, the internal and external users can see the page fine. Thanks

I'm quite new to networking and apologise for any information missed out!
 
From another machine on your network, ping the server using both addresses. You'll likely find that the one that isn't working is either unreachable or pointing to a different address. In either case, you'll need to modify your internal DNS.
