Lardy,

Perhaps your web is configured for anonymous access then. I would guess
that youc an also get to it from the outside too.

I'd still like to find out what allows a computer to resolve
http://companyweb/ though. Is it DNS, WINS, etc. I'm probably missing
something simple, but it's not working.
