yes, that's exactly what is happening.  and I've already read your
response, and I'm not happy with it ;)

see, when I had the internal DSL modem and winroute, I did not have this
problem. I can't necessarily point to "cullmanhosting.com" because that
is an actual internet domain pointing to my ip address which gets
forwarded to my webserver and the proper website gets served depending
on that address. With an internal modem it did just fine. Of course, I
can't type in 192.168.0.1 and hit the server because than it does not
know which website to serve.  I've got five machines on my LAN here. I
really don't need to be editing 5 hosts files (yes, I've done this
before), but i've never setup internal DNS before, either.  DNS right
now is being handled out of ZONEEDIT.
 
<sigh>
 
help me here. ;)  When I type cullmanhosting.com or baylorcove.com or
jfuller.dyndns.org, I'd like to get the same thing I get from the
outside network.  Can I not do that through some config on the router?
:(
 
 
CC>Let me know if this is the problem.
 
That's it!
Oh, and I can't get to the telnet port on DSN either (but i couldn't
through winroute either) - I did have to do directly to that machine
from the LAN.  IT'll work coming in from the outside...but then again,
*everything* works coming in from the outside. Only problem is, it needs
to work from the inside too :)
 
 
CC>It sounds like it's merely a host <-> IP resolving problem.  If so,

Yuck. :)

and override the external domain?
