Internal connection to web site.

Thanks for your help.

I have a domain set up on DNS, the whole world can see our
site, we just cannot see it internaly. I have checked the
settings but not being an expert with DNS I am at a loss.

Thanks again,

Paul.

Most likely DNS error. You need a DNS entry pointing to your web
server's internal IP that is used by your internal clients. See a DNS
group for that. Confirm by using the internal IP of your server, as
in <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://" target="_blank">http://</a>{IP_Address}/

You can check the DNS groups for help, but the basic issue is that the
DNS points to your external IP for the web site. Only your router or
firewall, knowing that the internal IP addresses aren't supposed to
come from outside, isn't sending you to the external IP address.

To fix this, you need to provide a means of resolving the internal IP
addres of your web server for your network. This usually means a
split DNS, one for internal use and the other for external.
