C6300 - Access local website from computer within network

I just recently purchased a C6300 to replace my old Docsis 2.0 and linksys wireless router.  I got the router setup and the port forwarding working.  Everything is working fine on machines that are outside my network.  From any outside machine when I type my company website domain into a browser, I get the company website.  The problem lies with computers located within my company network.  From any computer located within my company network, when I type in my company website domain, instead of bringing up the website, I'm show the admin login page to the Netgear Genie tool.

 

I can put a mobile device on my comapny WIFI and the same thing happens.  I get the Netgear Genie login when I try to navigate to my comapny domain.  I take the mobile device off of the company WIFI and the company website pulls up no problem.

 

What am I missing?  Why is the Netgear Genie login page pulling up when I try navigate to my company website from within my company network?

 

The router is setup with a static IP with port 80 being forwarded to my web server.

 

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    Hello tvining 

     

    Have you tried to put in the ip address of the website instead of the domain name?

      Hi DarrenM,

       

      I have.  From any computer within my network if I try to go to the public IP of the website, I'm show the login page to the Netgear Genie, even with remote admin turned off.  Even specifying port 80 along with the public IP takes me to the admin login page.

       

      Any machine outside my network works fine using both the domain and public IP.
