Publishing an internal web server

Hi; I am looking to publish an internal web server. I have a public IP address that I am pointing towards the server. When I navigate to this (Public) IP address from the internal network I get an error message: THis Page cannot be displayed. However the site works fine when I atempt to access it from an external network. Has anyone got any ideas as to what might e causing this?

Hi,

Have you check this site to ping from local computer and tell me the result.

Hi-

If you want to open intrnal site then please use the internal dns ip or ip of the webserver on which you configure site.

Deepak Vasudevan

I think it is the IIS configuration. My guess is that you might be using a Windows Server and the particular website is listening only to the external IP address.

Did you try connecting it with that IP address or the DNS name associated with that IP address?

When I ping the address I get a reply.

The using the internal IP address of the web server is not an option due to the configuration.

again: which web server?
also: which OS?

Hi,

Then may be support website application not installed or you didn't give sufficient permsiion on the website folder.
Also check the etc\host file have any entries their.

If you are using any firewall or proxy then check configure.
