Default website / domain clash

hi there,
i should know the answer to this one, but my head is full of VPN stuff right now.

problem: i have a domain called www.xyz.com

and i have a website called www.xyz.com hosted externally.

however i cannot view this website from in the domain.

is this a dns issue and can someone point me in the right direction to resolve this??

using windows 2003 SBS

TIA

Forward Look up zones, add a new host and then add a www record. Have you got DNS installed and active?

By the way, your website (xyz.com) is rubbish

works perfectly,
i changed the webhosting company a while back and it still had the old IP address as a DNS www forwarder.

might have a bit of freelance "Paying" work for you, if you can pm me you details (location / work situation, skills or CV) etc...

Daren.
