My 2¢ worth. Your problem description is a little bit unclear.... you have
a Web server behind the NT314.... that is on the internal LAN? You can
reach that Web server from the public Internet, but you cannot reach it
from within the LAN itself?
I believe James' solution will work, if your internal hosts check the
"hosts" file before doing DNS lookup. Or, if you really want to be
sophisticated, create an internal DNS server that knows IP addresses for
the Internal 'Net, and goes to your ISP's DNS servers for anything outside
(or directly to the root servers, for that matter).
Are you familiar with the hosts file, and where to find it?
