We're having problems access 'our own' externally hosted website with SBS 2003. I know this is commonly a DNS issue, but I cannot for the life of me get to the bottom of this. The site is hosted on a web host
Here are the facts:
- SBS 2003 w/single NIC. D-LINK DIR-655 router.
- DNS internally is handled by SBS, DNS forwarders set in order: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS Servers)
- Trying to browse website from the SBS server or any other machine on network
- Gateway is router (192.168.1.1)
- Trying to access our own web site, hosted by a 3rd party. Trying both example.com and www.example.com - Both are simply redirected to search pages.
- Trying to get to OTHER websites hosted on this same IP also fail
Problem description:
1 - Website works fine outside this network (i.e., from my house, other sites)
2 - Pinging example.com resolves to correct IP and responses are received
3 - Nslookup resolves correct IP
4 - Trace resolves correct IP and completes successfully
Troubleshooting steps:
1 - ipconfig/flushdns
2 - Restarting DNS service on SBS 2003 server
3 - Adding host entry for the domain/IP
4 - Restarted SBS 2003 server
5 - Adding forward lookup zone for example.com > adding A record for www pointing to IP
I'm at a loss here - Any suggestions? I'm hoping I'm missing something blatantly obvious that I've just overlooked...
