Cannot see web site for OUR server domain Flick Olmsford 4/18/2007 9:12:00 PM I have never gone into DNS before to modify / edit things. We have a web site, say, OurWebSite.com. Our server is called OurWebSite.com, but we do not host the web site. It is hosted by a large firm offsite. We can see ALL other web sites but our own OurWebSite.com from our workstations. How can I fix this?

You need to add a record named www. to the internal ourwebsite.com zone, giving the IP address of the web site. Since the ourwebsite.com domain name must resolve to the IP address of domain controllers for group policies to work, internal users must use www.ourwebsite.com to access the web site. You can however configure IIS on your domain controllers to redirect http://ourwebsite.com to http://www.ourwebsite.com. -- Best regards, Kevin D.

Re: Cannot see web site for OUR server domain Flick Olmsford 4/19/2007 2:48:01 PM I tried that but no luck. What type of record do I add - host, alias, MX, domain? I just add www (no period) and the dialog box filled in the rest of the site for me. I used a host record. "Kevin D.

Re: Cannot see web site for OUR server domain Flick Olmsford 4/19/2007 2:54:03 PM It just worked! I had accidently added two records, one with the wrong IP number. Thanks!!! "Kevin D.

I was just going to add that you may need to clear the client DNS cache by running ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt. -- Best regards, Kevin D.
