Hi,

We recently got earthlink to host our website, earthlink is also our provider for our business SDSL line. I went through a lot of trouble just to get our website up (had to redirect dns server which conflicted with our mail server...etc). Nowthe website is up but then for some reason our internal network can't get to it. There's only one computer in our entire company that can get to it and that's my computer. I running windows 2000 server with no AD installed. all other clients are running on 2000 pro and 98. In addition, we also have 4 servers running on 2000 sever with AD and they can't seem to get to it either. I've checked all the configuration and they all appear to be normal (similar to mine). Anybody have any ideas??

You need to use NAT (Network Address Translation )service if you have other server services running for your windows 2000 server.

i think u hosted site in ur server in ur lan, then u have to create a dns record about ur site with ip address.

On the pc's that cannot access the site check and see if there is an entry in the hosts file (or you are using a web caching/speedup package check that packages cache file) that is still pointing to the ip address. If it's there, delete it and try to access the site again. This entry will prevent the browser from checking a dns server for the address and just use the entry in the file.

Enjoy,
