Ok here is my situation:
I have an SBS 2003 server | Firewall | Web server "Windows 2003 server" and we have our company's website hosted locally on the web server. I can browse to the website from any computer outside the network "Home for example" but i am unable to browse to the website from any computer in the office from within the network.
Can anyone please give my some ideas on what i need to do so i can see the website from within the network!!!
Please let me know if any more info is needed...
 
Thanks very much!

what is your internal domain name ?

do you have the correct records in the local dns server in order to resolve the web site?

is the website running in iis - on port 80 -with the correct header infomation?

can you ping the fqdn of the website?

This is likely to be a DNS issue - did you get it solved Mermo?

A host file will work but a better solution would be a Host A record on your local DNS server that points traffic for that website
