Okay, I thought maybe I would reword my subject header to try attract some attention to this issue. Things have changed but nothing is new.
I have removed my original drive and replaced it with a new one. I installed E-Smith fresh and dumped the backup back on. Things are still the same as before. External users can't access web pages but internal users can.
At least, I trhink all internal users can. I'm the only one internally so I can't be totally sure. The things is, external users can access everything else. E-Mail, webmail, FTP, Telnet all work for external users. But when they try to connect to a web site they get a server not found error. This tells me that it's not a router issue (I have a Linksys 4 port Cable/DSL router) but that it's a server issue.
I was getting the FTP and POP3 slow down problem so I was trying out the fix by Charles (http://www.e-smith.org/bugs/index.php3?op=showBug&bugID=67). The fix never helped but I think my currently problem developed while I was messing with the fix. How can I undo what I might have done when trying to perform the actions in Charle's fix?
Thanks.

To undo the DHCP/resolver patch
# drop the external link - note therefore that you can't perform the
# fix remotely using this procedure
/sbin/ifdown eth1
# Replace /etc/resolv.conf with the correct contents
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/resolv.conf
# Undo patch
mv /sbin/ifup.old /sbin/ifup
#answer y to the overwrite message
# Now bring the external interface back up
/sbin/ifup eth1
but I do not think this is your problem
Have you tried restarting httpd
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

I would also like to suggest that if you have a hig speed connection (cable/dsl) some of the providers block incoming traffic to pot 80 you may need to change your port to something like 8080. Do a search on this and you should find the instruction on how to change the port.

Hey there, thanks for the thoughts.
Jon, you are correct, my problem has nothing to do with that acpect of things. I renamed the resolve.conf file and when I rebooted the server rebuilt it to what I assume would be it's default configuration. Nothing changed so it must be something else.
Dr. P, I'm being hosted through a company that allows the use of servers so that shouldn't be roblem but I will look into since I had an issue with them a few weeks ago.
Like I say, I can access the pages on my local network so I know that the service is up and running. Now that I've looked into every other option I can think of I now think that it might be my provider.
Thanks for the help. Bye for now.
