You may have a zone in DNS for your external Domain Name. Check this on your
SBS by going to Administrative Tools \ DNS and look at the Forward Zone
files. If it is the same as your external name xyz.co.uk look for a record
named www . Then edit the record accordingly.

From a Domain PC you can type nslookup in a command shell, it will should
point to the windows DNS. Then type www.xyz.co.uk which should incorrectly
resolve. if you then type www.xyz.co.uk 195.8.181.10 and hit enter it will
resolve correctly using an external DNS Server (in this case Talk Internet in
the UK) this then would demonstrate that its an internal DNS config.

I hope this helps.

The externally hosted website is www.xyz.co.uk and our domain name is xyz-uk.
Is that your question, if so where do I go to change the Windows DNS?

Do you use a contiguous namespace ? i.e. your AD Domain name and your
Internet Domain name are the Same ? it sounds like its an entry in your
Windows DNS which just needs to be changed.

We have windows server 2003 SBS, all the pcs on the network / domain are XP
pro. 12 months ago we moved our website to a different host. From within
the building nodody can get the website, from home (all different ISPs etc)
all my collegues can get the website. If I ping the url from the server
command prompt I get an IP that belongs to the old server, if I tracert the
same URL it shows my new host various IPs around the world then the finishes
with a number of IPs which relate to the old host. I followed instructions
from a forum adding the correct IP against the URL in the HOST file, the ping
and the tracert commands both return IPs solely for the new host. I don't
get it, somehow, somewhere my network / server is holding the old website DNS
records and stopping me loading the website!
