Weird DNS Issue

[jjeffords]

Hey guys i have one that is just killing me here. It isnt a huge problem cause everything is pretty much in place and accesible as we need it however someone let me know what i am doing wrong. I am pretty sure it is something simple and i am just overlooking it.
Ok we are running AD on a 2000 Server and running DNS. We can reach ANY outside site EXCEPT our own website. It is not intergrated through IIS or anything. You can also reach that site from any outside computer so i think that elimnates me from b eing able to blame the hosting provider lol
I have checked and rechecked my DNS setting and all and everything seems to be fine. As i said i can go ANYWHERE on the net except for our own website. I think i am missing a record somewhere but not exactly sure.
I have checked the event logs and all i ever get is event id 3000 for DNS. And from what i understand that is normal if you are running a secondary zone because of the zone transfers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Add an A record for your website address (

http://www.company.com)

and point it to the IP of your hosting provider.

Ok now would i use my ISPs IP addy or the hosting company that has the website?

You want to use the IP address of the machine that hosts your website. This will be the same IP that your ISP would resolve your website to.

Note for the above, in regards to creating a record to point to your external website ip address - this will only work if your website has a static ip address. If it is hosted as a virtual site on a shared ip address, then it will not work.
