Port forwarding is working. Thank you.
I added an A record on my public DNS host pointing back to the public IP. How long until it goes into effect?
Did you put in the local IP in your local DNS?
You should never rely on NAT Hairpinning

This is very important, you can't skip this step.
He also never stated that he fixed his ownCloud config.php either. I listed 3 clear steps. He said he did step 3.
I fixed it

You website host != your DNS host. Are you sure this was where you needed to add that.
-
@alex.olynyk And it points to your external IP address?

Who is your DNS host? It shouldn't be the same as your web host.

@scottalanmiller If its not my web host then it must be Windstream

Domain Registrar
DNS Host
Web HostThose are all separate services. You can have them provided by the same company but you should have them provided by different companies.

Highly recommend that this be fixed. Totally separate issue and not a "to do" for today. but get the notepad out and make a list. Your DNS should be completely independent of any other service that you have. The most important that it not be associated with is your ISP, which is Windstream.
There are lots of choices for free DNS hosting and some nice paid ones too. We use CloudFlare, it is free and I highly recommend it.

I got the A record added on my public DNS host and I can reach owncloud externally using the domain name.
Im in the office now and i cant access it internally by hostname. I have an A record in internal DNS and there is nothing in my host file.
When I ping the domain name it fails cause its looking for the public IP address now. Does that mean hairpin routing isnt working?
Windstream
