I have a static NAT configured on my Cisco 2801 Router. &nbsp;This NAT works fine from the outside, but from inside the network I can't access the application via the public IP which is what I want to do. &nbsp;Is there some type of policy NAT or something I can configure to allow me to access the the Public IP internally? &nbsp;Thanks.

Accessing Public IP Address (static nat) from inside the network

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
