Ok, I have 2 computer at home on a network. One is running a webserver, antevirus.net

On that machine, I can access it's www site perfectly fine, and also it's IP address. But on all other machine on the private network, I can't access the website through the public address - antevirus.net or public IP
I can acces it through the private IP of hte machine. Why?

It's a DNS problem - what's in the TCP/IP DNS settings for the LAN on the client machine?

Expert: someone who reads the manual when no-one's looking

The DNS is all the same, client and server. Any client on hte private network (everyone using broadband through my ISP) has to access it through the private IP address. Coudl this be a nameserver issue with my domain (this is what a teacher of mine suggested)?
