Another thing I'm thinking is if you have an ISA server or Proxy Server that allows external addresses to the website port 80 or 443 depending on if you are using https. &nbsp;You may have to punch a hole your ISA/Proxy server for local address.

Did the ipconfig commands already, no luck with that.<br />
With regard toISA/Proxy issue, all the other internal sites resolve fine and nothing was chaged on those machines.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am able to see our internally hosted website by entering its IP address into the address field in any browser. I am unable to see this site by entering the FQDN or URL, however the site can be viewed from the public network or the Internet without any problem whatsoever. I am treating this as a DNS configuration issue but have had little success by creating a new zone with an entry for the mapping on the internal DNS server OR entry into my local lmhosts file. With the entry into the local hosts file the IP address is being resolved but the site is still not loading in the browser- any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
