Re: DNS setup for 2003 server

Hey Kevin,

I made the adjustments and now when I go to the website from outside the
network it says this.

Connection to server www.domain.com failed (Connection actively refused by
the server.)

when i go to it on the network it gives the page cannot be displayed error.

the DNS A host I added for our www.domain.com points to the server ip
192.168.*.* since we are behind a NAT on our cisco 1760 router.
