Ok I am spent way to long looking this up and I think I am once again Confusing myself.
I have a slakware 10 server runing apache 1.3x and am using a linksys wireless g router [version 2 with latest firmware update]
From outside my house I can get to the websites on the server fine
however from inside I cannot. I know that this has something to do with my setup but am not sure where to go or what to try next.
I have tried to setup an internal BIND DNS [version9] server and that does not seem to be helping me.
if I type in the local IP address I can get to the default Virtual server site fine but I canot get to any others.

The internal IP address of the server already has port 80 on the router opend so i know that that is not the issue. I tired to diable both the windows and the Router firewall

the local IP is 192.168.150
let say the domain name is domain1.com
If I need to use a DNS server cna someone help me withe what I need to setup
Anything would be great as I need to get this running so i can work on the site from home
I know it is probably something simple

[also whenever i amde changes i did restarted the Apache and BIND] services. I use Webmin to manage the server

 
There are a couple things you can do. First check to see that your router is allowing pass-through traffic. If this still doesn't work, you can look for a hosts file or lmhosts file on your windows boxes. Add the network ip of the server in there. A dns server on the linux box won't do much good if your network can't find it. Does you network see the linux box?



 
my windows machines do see the linux box. if i type in 192.168.1.150 [ip of linux box] then i get the default virtual server website.
But when i type in the FQDN the internal windows box does not find the machine
