From where they want to access company intranet page? Outside the company LAN Network? IN DNS , We only add Host Record "A" and CNAME of the Host Records. How do i find the company intranet address? I dont understand this question. One should know the company intranet address if it is published, Regards, _Prashant_ MCSA|MCITP SA|Microsoft Exchange 2003 Blog - http://prashant1987.wordpress.com Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS-IS with no warranties/guarantees and confers no rights.

thank you, when i do this i get the following error in IE Cannot connect to the configuration database

It seems there is a problem connecting to the SQL database. What version of Sharepoint are you running?

i am sorry but i am not up on sharepoint at all, how do i find the version?

even when i try and open central admin i get the following error Cannot connect to the configuration database.

Try looking in Programs and Features for the sharepoint version. There is some troubleshooting involved and you need to know a few basic things in order to solve the issue like, server names, Ip addresses, services running on servers, ports, permissions, etc. Withouth basic information we can't help you solve your issue. You can try also posting your question on the Sharepoint forums but the issue is more likely to be releated either to connectivity, name resolution, or access permissions. You should find someone with some experience in troubleshooting these issues to help you out. Elance is a freelancing site where you can hire specialist to help you out.
