Cannot access my website from the LAN

[probev]

I know that this question might sound trivila and I know that I used to resolve this issue in the past under redhat. I just installed OpenSuSE 10.3, setup firewall and HTTP server.

The issues that I have is I can access my web site from outside my home network, but I cannot access it from the inside my home network. To me this sound like a name resolution but I might be wrong. What might be the problem?

Just to add, In my internal network if I point to the internal IP address 192.168.x.x I am getting to the site. If I try to point to the external IP address, I am going nowhere and eventually it times out...

Thanks!

easiest way around it would probably be to edit /etc/hosts and put an entry in for your server and the local IP.

192.168.X.X my.server.com

that'll bypass everything and just connect straight to the server.

OK. Most of the times the solution is closer then you think...

I have a Linksys router. I had the Filter NAT Redirection box ckecked...which means that no matter what your internal request are going to be kept internal...simply unchecked the box and everything works fine...
