I have just found out it can

I have just found out it can be done without editing HOSTS file:
as a login server I put "srvis03" and in Expert options (in Miranda) I can manually specify connection host: ***COMPANY IP***.
Works like a charm. :-)

Works! Thank you so much, guys!

Tomder: thank you, the HOSTS file worked immediately :-)
Sander: as next task we surely will set up DNS exactly as you say, thanks for an advice.

what u can try is: set up on

what u can try is:
set up on router/firewall port forwarding to 5222 and in 'hosts' file on workstation put this:
srvis03 IP-on-router/firewall
cos your jabberd server like his name ... :)
and when u try to connect to is put not IP but srvis03
try

You need a public official

You need a public official domain name which you use both for internal LAN users as well as WAN users. You can use e.g. a local DNS server to point local LAN users to the local IP.
