Topic: Cannot access website from home
I have setup a website using my machine at home. I am able to access the website from work and other users are able to access it too. But oddly enough, I can't seem to be able to access it from home.I checked the DNS and it points to the current IP address of the router so I am not sure how to resolve this issue. Does anyone have similar issue?

To resolve the issue, I added an entry into the 'hosts' file and pointed the domain name to the internal IP address of the machine.
