Can you ping the www.company.com? If not what is the return, Timeout or host
unreachable? Try a tracert to www.company.com and see where it is failing. I
think Anthony is on the right track with the Cache, but just trying to give
you some other ideas.

Subject: Access to website from inside LAN
Hello, all.
We are creating our company's Web site, which will live at a hosting
company. The site is not yet active, but the hosting company has set up a
dummy page for us to get to, which we will replace with our own content when
ready. Our problem is that none of the workstations on our LAN can access
the dummy site via its URL at www.company.com, but they can by typing the
site's IP address in the browser.
All workstations point to the LAN's DNS server. This server, in turn, CAN
view our site when one types the URL in the browser. Our DNS server points
to our ISP's DNS server. Workstation IP addresses are assigned through
DHCP. Workstations also obtain DNS server addresses automatically. If I
point a workstation to the ISP's DNS server, it, too, can then access out
website via the URL.
We do not have this problem with accessing any other website, either
internal or external to our LAN. We're a W2K shop all around. What am I
missing here?
