I have a small buisness server that also serves as my active directory and DNS.

we also have a externally hosted web site that has the same domain name as the internal domain

IE- "mydomain.com" is the domain name for the network and "www.mydomain.com" is the extrenally hosted web site. all the proper lookups and forwards are in place

untill about a week ago we could hit the web site just fine but now none of the client machines can use the web site. the strangest part is that the server can still hit the web site just fine

a consulting company that we use insisted that it was a failing pix box, despite my recomendation they bought one from this consulting company and had it installed.

im pulling my hair out here. if anyone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appriceated.

What troubleshooting steps have you taken?

Can a client workstation ping the website by name? by IP?

Do the clients resolve the website to the correct IP?

by mikieh86284

I cannot ping the website by name or by IP. The client workstations do resolve the IP correctly, but still get a page cannot display error.I can access the website from the server so I know its not an ISP problem, and the correct host(A) record is in place to point to the external website.

What I can't understand or think of a way to test for is why I can access the website from the workstations during non-peak network
times. It's only when there is heavy network traffic that I can't access the website and that is the only website that I cannot access, I still get normal speed from my connection to any website.

Thanks so much.
