    Some Images not working on Local clients - IIS 7

    Greetings,

     I'm currently running windows 2008 server with IIS 7

    and running into the following problems -

     When I'm on my workstation system and browsing my website (which is hosted on the server) some of the images arent loading up.

    If I check View Source - all the coding is there - just the images arent showing.

    This happens when I go to the domain name or the External WAN IP of the website from the workstation.

    ----

    If I go to the local IP addresss of the server (i.e 192.168.0.1) from the same workstation (ie 192.168.0.10) - all the images and everything works as it should be  ...

    If i go to the local library internet or use some external IP to check out the site via the domain that also works as it should ..

    Can anyone give me some troubleshooting steps to figure out why I'm getting this issue?

    "If you can view it fine in ceratin configuratisn then IIS is fine and it is a routing/firewall/proxy type issue."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    I posted in the wrong folder - this is the better place!

    Yes I believe this to be some Networking / Routing Issue 

    My current setup is
    Windows 2008 std Server with 2 network cards
    1 - Connects to WAN / Cable Modem
    1 - Goes to Local Switch

    I have the following services on:
    DNS
    DHCP
    Routing with Nat

     This was the same exact setup I had when the server was windows 2000 adv

    I'm not that familar with Windows 2008 Srv

    The website works with no issues on the server system and anyone else that is connecting to it from the internet.

    My problem is when I'm hitting my domain from my workstation - a couple of the images dont show / the site works uber slow.

    If I put in the local IP Address of the webserver in my browser (192.168.0.1) everything works great / fast / all images work ..

    If I put in the WAN IP External address - same as when I was hitting the domain name / works bad.

    I dont have issues seeing any other website, just the one thats on the webserver I cant view correctly. 

    Any Ideas?

     Inside my Hosts file I added

    192.168.0.1   the domain name

    Glad to see you've found a fix, but it indicates the problem is a network setting issue.

    Cannot get a clear understanding of your network settings based on your words, but you really need to review networking settings to ensure you don't need to hack every workstations' hosts file to get the site working.
