The Scenario!
We use our SME-Box as a Mail server and get our mail delivered directly on site. Our PDC is a Win2000 machine.
Our domain name and "web name" are the same.
when we try to browse to our web site it can not be done.We just get an "this page can not be displayed"
People from the outside has no problems.
any suggestions

I'm assuming you are using "E-Smith" as your web server. The setup I had was using e-smith as a firewall/intranet web server and using WinNT40 as a PDC/Exchange Server. Our domain name was the same as the our "registered" web site. Anybody that wanted to go to our external web site would key it in and always get our intranet. People from the outside would get our registered site. The temporary work-around, internally, was to use the ip address after the http. The true fix was to configure e-smith to re-route to the external ip address.
There are two methods I know of to get to the same results:
Example:
Let's call your domain "google.com"
Method 1:
E-Smith should already be configured with your workgroup as "google.com" (double-check it)
Inside of "Server-Manager", go to:
>"Workgroup"
>"Windows workgroup" Google.com
>"Server Name" <use the computername of the e-smith server).
>"Workgroup and Domain Controller" No
>"Roaming profiles" No
Method 2
If E-Smith is already configured differently in "Workgroup" and you don't want to mess with these settings, you can create a virtual domain to get to the same results:
>"Virtual Domains"
>"Click Here to create a virtual domain"
>"Domain Name" Google.com
>"Brief Description" Whatever
> "Content" Primary Site
> "Create"
Using either method above, next, on the main menu, go to:
>Hostnames and Addresses
You will see an entry called:
"Current list of hostnames for google.com."
Under the "www" entry, you will see:
"www.google.com Local Self Modify... Remove..."
Here you see that any internally going to www.google.com will get directed to "self" and look for your intranet called google.com. You have to "modify this entry"
Change "Location" to "Remote"
(do not activate "serviceLink")
Leave "Publish Globally" to "No"
Click "Next"
Set "IP Address" to your external registered ip address of your registered web site.
Click "Next" and "Finish"
......Test it out......
Good Luck,
