I've got several sites set up in IIS. I created a new
site in order to test a replacement for my default web
site. Once I had tested. I changed the IP of the default
to another address and the IP of the test to the live IP.
after doing this the new site would not come up. Switched
back and the old wouldn't come up either. I get "Page
cannot be displayed" for both.

The only thing that's different from the other sites that
I have on this server is that the domain name is my
Windows AD domain.

Any ideas?

Hi,

And that difference is where the problem lies. Actually, it isn't a
problem. Odds are people outside of your network see it fine. The way
around this is to add an A Name to your AD DNS server for www.your.domain to
point to your public IP (or your web server's private IP)
