Problem occurs as follows:
I've got SME7 running in server mode, in local network behind nat router. I've got corectly configured domain, and I can access all services from internet via domain name.
But when I try to access same services (www, webmail, whatever) from local network all connections times out. It works only with M$ network neighbourhood name, or ip address.
All local network workstations use SME as dns server, and nslookup gives correct (local) ip address of server, and additional non authoritative external ip address.
For some time, in server-manager/hostnames and addresses gives me message:
"Operation status report
A DNS forwarder has been configured. This means that all DNS lookups will be handled by the DNS forwarder. Hostnames and addresses cannot be modified on this server while a DNS forwarder is configured."
And I cannot add or change any of standard enties. I' ve no idea why and how it appeared.
PS I can force openig services on workstations by editing hosts file on them, buts it is a real pain to modify it on all machines.

Check the Domains panel setting for Domain DNS servers (usually Resolve locally is an appropriate choice), also check if you set an external Corporate DNS server (on the same panel).
