    We get internet at the company from the same ISP

    2.At home I have different ISP provider and I cannot acces the site of my company.

    3.Both ISPs are in the same city.
    4.I contaced ISP 1 they say its not problem with them
    I contaced ISP 2 they say its not problem with them

    you havnt got any programs running like peer guardian have you

    i remember it wouldnt let me load the argos.co.uk website up (strange i know)

    anyway if your have peer guardian - make sure HTTP is allowed

    just a thought

    Welcome to AD. First let me confess that I'm a novice at this but it's worth a try and maybe someone else can develop this trend of thought if it has any worth to it. Using you home PC go to your command prompt box and type ping (insert IP address of your work place here and don't include the brackets) or vice versa if you can't obtain the IP address of your work place. If you are running any 3rd party firewall programs (or windows firewall is turned on) then check your settings to ensure that you're not inadvertently blocking acces to any sites. Failing that try to use an internet cafe or someone else's computer and see if you can access your work place's web site to see if it's something with your end.
    Btw if your company has a web site which is a public domain then why can't you post the url so that others can try to acces it to see if it's a problem with that site. Posting the url doesn't incriminate you, but asking us not to ask the name of your company's website is a bit suspicious to say the least. Unless you meant that we should not ask because the company is illegal, which is quite different from

    First and foremost what you want to find out is if this website has a proper real world dns record. If others outside the company can reach it but you can't, that's different, but if there isn't a realworld proper dns record- nobody's going to reach it. First 'ping' the website address and see what get's returned. If it times out it means there is no dns record for the site. Next, if you have the ip and 'ping' that, then you know the machine is live, but with no dns record this is exactly what would happen. If this far and these two things, goto a place like dnsstuff.com and do a whois on the www.address, and IP to see where things are supposed to be registered in dns- by whom, all that. Once these few things done this is what anyone first would do, and if you don't have proper dns registration for the site- nobody anywhere could reach it by www.sitename.com anyway.

    If you're doing dynamic dns or NAT and stuff like this- there's much more to the story and somebody has gotten into- 'plug it in and it will work'- which it won't. Good luck.
