[users@httpd] Domain Name not working on localhost

[Peter Schrock <pe...@gmail.com>]

         I have a home server set up with a couple of things going on. 
Here is the weird thing that I can't figure out. I can access everything 
just fine from an INTERNET connection external to my LAN using my domain 
name, let's say "domain.com". So, if I type into my browser on my LAN 
"www.domain.com", it searches without actually finding it's destination 
giving up after a period of time saying the server cannot be found 
(usually an error 408). But, if I type www.domain.com on my mobile phone 
browser using my data connection (not on the LAN), it connects without a 
hitch and everything functions fine. I have done this set up before at a 
different home, but since I moved, I have come across this problem and 
either don't remember having this happen before or don't remember what I 
did to resolve it. Also, I changed ISP and that seemed to be the 
beginning of the problem. I set up my port forwards and checked my 
firewalls on the router. I looked on google and couldn't find anything 
specific to my problem. Everything I have read in the user documentation 
for apache seems to be set up correctly. I guess my question is what do 
I not know that I should know to be looking for. :-/
Could some one direct me as to what I should look for? Thanks.

Peter

Most likely your (new) ISP is not set up to route traffic out and then
back in again.

Instead, on your client set up a hosts file entry with the private IP
address of the server on your LAN and you should be fine.

Good luck,

Pete
