[anyichux]

Hello Everyone,

I have a domain with dns and exchange server within my domain. Am running Win2k Server. I set of my domain controller with the same name as my Internet Domain name

My web site is been hosted outside of my domain along with my temporary Internet mail exchanger.

My problem is, am not able to get to either of web site or my mail site from within my domain but I can from outside my domain.

Please could anyone give me infor about how to resolve this issue

Thanks,

can you get to it by using the ip address? Do you have an internal and an external IP address. From internal you should be able to get to the Web server by using the ip address in place of the

http://www.name.com....

Why our web site doesn't work internally

Q: Everyone can access our web site on the Internet. But no one can access the web site internally. Instead, we are point to our Intranet.

A: If you network domain name is the same of your web site name, you should point the web to the web public IP. To do this, open DNS manager and create a host. for example

http://www.chicagotech.net=public

ip.

The host you need to create will be called

http://www and

have the external ip address of the website.

Did you add the

http://www host

in your DNS server? You'll have to do the same thing for mail as well.

You do it the same way you did it for www.
