Locally means on the same machine as the server?

And could you mention which "whatever it asked me" you did?

Have you edited the hosts files on any of the computers, including the
server?

Ping by IP address or by the dummy.dnsalias.net domain name?

And if IP, is it by the internal IP or the external IP?

Wait. dummy is probably not a 3LD that you'd be able to get. Are you
sure about that?

I was going to mention cheap broadband "modems" that don't expose the
external interface address back to the internal LAN and about
demilitarized zones, and recapitulate the hosts file business, but I
think we haven't got that far yet.

(None of this is the main topic on this list.)
