Can't View website inside network, but can outside

[colomadman]

Alright, here is the problem.

We have a Windows 2000 network setup to host our email and website. DNS has been set up as the primary name server for the network and all is well with external clients.

Internally, the name get's resolved to our public IP address and comes up with a "This page cannot be displayed" error on IE.

If I manually change the \etc\hosts file on a client to point to our internal address, everything works like a champ, even if they are connected outside the network.

I am sure this is a DNS or NAT issue, please help.

Wesley,

Okay I went through the prescribed steps and still have the same problem. I can reach the website from the DNS/Server machine, but not from the clients.

Could it be something with DHCP server or what?
