Help! I Can't See My Sites From My Home Network!

I am hosting a couple of websites from home, and I can not access them from other PCs on my home network. I can access the sites fine externally (from work, etc.), but not from home! As you can imagine, this is kind of frustrating!

My server is running Windows 2000 Advanced Server with IIS 5.0 and FrontPage 2000 extensions. I am connecting using Road Runner over a Toshiba cable modem and a D-Link DI-704 4 port switch. The server is sitting in the DMZ, while my other two computers are inside the hardware firewall provided by the DI-704. I am also running Tiny Personal Firewall on my server (I have most of the ports except 80 locked down, if this could somehow be the problem).

I can access a website if it resides in the root web on my server, but I can’t access any of the other webs (at least I can’t figure out how). The way I’m able to access the root web from another PC at home is by entering the name of my server in the web browser. Entering the actual 'www.' name only results in a page not found error.

Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Hi SpyderMan

Do you have a single static IP?
Are you running name servers localy allso?

Do you have local IP's or static public IP's assigned to the other two computers?

Your problem could be due to the web server being hosted on the same IP as your connection to the net.
