Cannot Access My Webserver

[Guest]

I have just installed a fresh version of 2.5.1. Now I cannot access my webserver using the external domain name. eg: mydomain.com

This is the configuation I used on 2.4.1

----------

Uplink ANY    TCP+UDP/80    ALLOW    172.17.1.51 : 80
ALLOW from:    <ANY>

----------

I can access it from an external connection, but not an internal connection.

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.mydomain.com/

The following error was encountered:

The system returned:

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

I can access external websites but not my own.

You should check what your dns name is resolved to when you try to access it from internal connection and what ip it is resolved to on firewall. If you have enabled proxy on the firewall you should make sure that dns is either resolved to external ip or forwarded to internal ip directly.

The dns resolves correctly, so it is not a dns issue.

Have you tried to turn of proxy server and see what happens?

Turning the poxy off does not fix the problem. It should work with the proxy on, it always did in the past.
