Problem with same host but different domains

[alisonken1]

I have ZenCart installed on my machine in the office. I have the office router setup so the office machines are masqueraded to the internet, but I have a public IP that I DNAT forward to my machine.

Machine: www2.private.network 192.168.1.104
Internet access www2.public.com (public IP)

The problem is the configure.php scripts predefine the host/site name with the private machine name, so I am unable to use the cart from the public internet side.

Currently, I'm forced to use 2 different folders with ZenCart installed ( /private/ for the local office access, and /public/ for the internet access). The other problem is I can login to the admin page via www2.private.network in the office, but I get username/password errors when trying to login to the admin pages from www2.public.com.

Any suggestions?

Why don't you just use the public address everywhere?

Why don't you just use the public address everywhere?

publicIP1 -> router1 -> (masq) private network w/15 networked devices
publicIP2 -> router1 -> dnat to my desktop

As you can see, I don't have the availability at this time to put the websever directly on the public IP.
