I assume your webserver is in a DMZ or on your internal lan and then published to a public outside IP address through a firewall. On your internal DNS server add an A record that points to the Internal ip address, not the outside public IP address.

For example if you have a website at www.mycompany.com running on a server name WebServer that is in your DMZ at IP address 192.169.200.101 and published to the internet with a public IP of 208.152.22.4 then you would have a DNS record on your internal DNS server that says.

www.mycompany.com A 192.168.200.101

Hi Jin,

Your application is hosted in the server which uses Company specific Network. You can't access those from outside. In order to access outside you need to connect to your company network.

Thanks,

Member_2_7971300 I think you may have misunderstood the question because of a typo in the question.

I believe the issue is they cannot access the website from internal systems.

You will be able to confirm DrDave's explanation by doing the following in a command prompt

PING www.stackteck.com
NSLOOKUP www.stackteck.com 192.168.16.2
NSLOOKUP www.stackteck.com 8.8.8.8

Open in new window

Assuming your own internal DNS is 192.168.16.2
If you don't know what is your internal DNS, type IPCONFIG /ALL in a CMD prompt and look for the line that starts with "DNS Server"
