Thank you for the quick answer, I had a feeling it was going to amount to this.

I have a DNS issue that I can not come up with an easy solution in order to resolve.<br />
<br />
Currently I have the single active directory domain as domain.com and a third party hosted website called domain.com. &nbsp;In DNS I have added the host www as the IP of the external website address. &nbsp;However if I were to put domain.com as the URL in the address bar for IE, it prompts for a username and password for the local domain.com domain controller. &nbsp;Anyway to get this to point to the domain.com website instead? &nbsp;If I use www.domain.com&nbsp;it points to the correct address.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

DNS domain vs website issue
