Can not open SharePoint 2007 Site from Internet

Question

We have both WFEs in MOSS 2007. I am able to open the same site with in both wfes and when I come out of server means, when I try to access from internet ,I can access the SharePoint site from wfe 1 but not from wfe 2 (both server are load balanced ) I checked by adding host entry outside. Not sure why I am not able to open the site from the wfe2 IP.  It was working earlier..all of sudden this issue occurred.

Can you please help on this?

Hi ramch011,

When using Telnet or attempting to browse a computer outside the cluster from a cluster host, there is no response.

 

Cause:  Verify that you can use ping to access the computer outside the cluster. If this test is successful you might not have listed the host's dedicated IP address first in the TCP/IP properties.

 

Solution:  When you must manually configure TCP/IP with the host's dedicated IP addresses and the cluster's IP address, the dedicated IP addresses must be listed first. For more information, see Set up TCP/IP for Network Load Balancing.
