Why would this be the wrong place to ask? Where is the right place?
I think the issue is that he is on the private network which is then NAT'd.
so when he trys to get to his web server his address 192.168.0.x is
translated to an address like 202.3.15.5 (arbtary address) trys to go to
202.3.15.2 for example which is a static NAT back to a 192.168.0.2 address.
I do not know the reason as per the Standard but it seems that NAT does not
allow this, I have seen this with MANY implementations of NAT ie. Argus Web
Gate, Novell Border Manager not to mention SonicWALL and Others.
I just consider this a "Feature" of NAT and live with it.
and yes a Hosts file entry with the private address in it will solve the
problem.
Hope it helps

Nope, it's not.

Try contacting the tech support for SonicWall.
