NT Web Server using WebSite problem

[rpage at okway.okstate.edu]

   Hi! You might rethink making this machine a "primary domain controller". 
   There is a lot of overhead that a domain controller adds to a network, some 
   of which may be causing these problems.
      My web server is running on NT server, but the server was set up as a 
   "standalone" server. This is a choice made while setting up NT. 
   Unfortunately, the only way to chage from a PDC to a standalone, is to 
   reinstall.

We are trying to set up a NT web server using O'Reilly's WebSite, but are 
experiencing a frustrating problem (compounded by the fact that I'm new to 
NT). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
   
I can install NT okay, creating a computer name and a domain name at the 
appropriate points and making the machine a Primary Domain Controller. 
After NT is installed, WebSite installs just fine. Then the problem starts. 
WebSite serves to the browser running on that machine (the server). And it 
serves to users off our campus network, which I think means that the campus 
DNS server is correctly routing outside requests to the server IP address 
(http://157.242.64.225 or http://library.lmu.edu). But to other machines on 
our campus network, the server does not respond. I have tried renaming the 
(NT) domain and renaming the computer by changing the Identification tab in 
the Network utility. It tells me the changes have been made, but it still 
doesn't work for other on-campus computers. 
   
I can go into more gory details, but that is the basic situation.
   
Thanks in advance for any advice.
