Post by: slayer on September 11, 2006, 12:16:01 AM

Okay i figuered out why. The router didnt support loopback, it does now!!
But theres a second router on my network, and it dont support loopback.
Is there a way to bypass that? (Host.conf???)

It sounds like your DNS settings aren't correct.

When someone connects from outside they will resolve www.example.com to your external IP which is correct, but it sounds like you are resolving to the same IP when on your LAN.

When you are on your LAN, you should resolve www.example.com to your servers LAN ip (e.g. 192.168.1.1)

Check your settings in Domains in the server manager

Also make sure that your LAN PC's are using the SME as the DNS server

First of all thanks for the help!


It turns out that i was an idiot, and all i had to do, was to connect to the ip, not the "www" adress. (and enable loopback on the router, which were no picnic :-)  )

Everything works now, and sme is doing a fine job!
Thanks again for the help.
