Even though SG is right and I did misread your post, you can do a quick fix
until you find the problem in the DNS. Navigate to your hosts file on the
server (windows/system32/drivers/etc) and add a record for
www.yourdomain.co.uk pointing to the external address. If I'm not mistaken,
your server will check the hosts file first and you should be able to get to
your website.
But this is just a temp fix. You need to find out where the DNS problem is.

I am sorry for duplicate post my machine said it could not reach site so I
posted again and hey presto it did both.
My request for help is rather urgent and I am now even more confused than
before just to recap the ping didnt work. Why?

properly How do I find out if there is a pointer and remove it if
possible.
Would I be better off deleting all DNS server settings and starting
again,
is that even possible? The trouble is I am looking at the DNS settings,
foward look up zones ect. and I dont know what they should be. In my
ignorance I feel Claus was right but you all dissagree.
If it helps I cannot find any instances of xxx.co.uk in any part of the
DNS
settings. Is this correct or is something missing.

Wrong.
The OP has probably at some earlier time created a pointer to his
.co.uk
address, he needs to remove any such pointer and allow DNS to operate
normally.
It _could_ just be a propogation thing. The web hosting service may
have
only recently taken control of the DNS zone and the changes need time
to
propogate.

You are correct. You need to set up a zone for "yourdomain.co.uk" and
then
create an A record for CP, pointing at the static IP.

Hello to all you boffins
I have an SBS2003 server on 1 nic and a adsl router which lets all
clients
and the server browse the internet no problem. except one! (xxx
represents
the name of my domain). Recently an outside agent began hosting my
web
page
and email service, but i cannot connect to my .co.uk on their
servers.
I cannot browse to cp.xxx.co.uk or http://cp.xxx.co.uk from any
machines
on
my xxx.local domain. I can do this from any external machine not on
the
xxx.local domain.
I can get to these places from my xxx.local domain if I use ip
addresses.
I think it has to do with DNS.
I think I need to set up a new forward look up zone so that the
SBS2003
box
knows to resolve xxx.co.uk requests externally.
Please can some body direct me to a resource that will teach me how
to do
this or explain in this thread how to do it or what to do if my
assumptions
above are wrong
.
