DNS entry for website

[kmcallister]

Hello all, I have a company who's local domain is abc.com. Whenever they try to access their website "

http://www.abc.com"

which is hosted somewhere else, it comes up with a page cannot be display message. When we try "abc.com", it comes up with the msn search page. I know it has something to do with the DNS and the fact the local domain is the same as the web url. If someone can tell me what entries I can make on their DNS server I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance;

Add an A record for

http://www and

point it to the IP of the hosted website.

I did that and it works for "

http://www.abc.com".

Is there anything i can do for "abc.com"?

Thanks in advance;

Create another A-record with a blank hostname and give that the same IP as you gave the

http://www record.

That worked great. Thanks for all of your assistance.

No, it isn't blank. it is supposed to be '@', blank acquires the record above that line, so it is order dependent.
