Not sure if this is the right group to ask, but we have a damain set up Registered through godaddy. We run dns in house. Having a problem with getting the website to come up when the left out. Setup the appropriate dns a host files, and that fixed it internally, but still having problems when people connect from the outside world. Any ideas?
 
You'll need to get the DNS configured properly, at the moment traffic for domain.com is obviously being directed to another address, or has no record.

You're running DNS servers in house; are they being externally queried and where is the website hosted?

Should have been more clear about that, the web servers are located in house as well.
 
Whomever is handling your external DNS provisioning (usually your ISP), needs to include an @. record to point to your server in additon to the www. record.

Ok I got it taken care of, they had it pointing over, but in IIS under properties, then under the web site tab i clicked advanced, and it had the in there, I just removed that, and it worked fine.
