I have our Website hosted by an ISP. I have an Exchange 2000 Server in place for internal and external email. I didn't set this up, but I believe that it does DNS for us also. I also have a proxy in place as a firewall. Here's the question: I can seem to get to all websites but ours. When I type in our website, I get a DNS error message back from the proxy server. I contacted our ISP and they say everything is fine. I can get to our website from home. My exchange server had to be rebuilt and that's when this website denial started happening. Any ideas??

What about other websites can you connect to them?
If the answer is no then the problem is in your local DNS settings.

You will need to add your external website host IP address to your DNS server as an 'A' record. If you are unsure how to do this DO NOT GUESS. There are some excellent articles on the Tech Republic sites about DNS so read up on these first. Most DNSsetup is covered here and your ISP should be able to give you the relevant info about your website host server. You may also have to add 'MX' records for your mail server, I am not using 2000 server yet so I would not try to advise you on 2000 DNS setup but I would not suppose it is too radically different to NT 4.0
Hope this helps
