Website not accessible on 2003 server

We have a website hosted on Windows 2003 server using IIS 6. The server
has two ethernet cards installed: one directly hooked up to an ethernet
port and using static IP and DNS server to access the internet; the
other one connected to a switch so that three other computers can share
the internet connection, using local IP 192.168.0.XX. The DHCP server
of the 2003 is disabled. We can access the website using the domain
name: http://XXX.XXX.com on all four computers in our local network,
but we cannot do it from any other computer. However, we can ping the
domain name from other computers. I thought it was firewall, but the
firewall on the Network Connection has been disabled. Does anyone have
a clue what the problem might be?

Thanks.

You mean you are trying to access the website from the outside world?

Is there a public record for the domain name? If so, can you provide so we
can test it from our end?

Is this server a DC? If so, it is really not advised to multihome a DC due
the numerous issues it causes to AD.

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
