Hi all, :D
I need a bit of help. I have a new Win2000 Server setup with DHCP enabled with a static IP assigned to it. When I installed Win2000 Server, I also setup our web domain name as the domain for the server (this shouldn't matter, right?). I also have a Linksys router with DHCP disabled (due to Win2000 Server DHCP being enabled)
Now, my internal network works great. I can share & see everyone on my network. I can also surf the web with no problem. The only thing is due to the server having DHCP enabled, if it goes down, no one can surf. This is normal, I know.
**The problem is I can not view my own web address/domain name. As soon as I type www.mydomianname.com I get "The page cannot be displayed". If I go home or go to any pc outsidemy Lan, I can pull it up. But any client within my network can't do it. Why is this?
Is it because I used our web domain name as the domain name for the server when I setup it up? I thought this would be perfered.
Is it the router? Should I disable DHCP from the server and re-enable it back to Linksys router and assign static IP's?
Thanks for the help, everyone has been great here! ;)
