ownCloud Routing

What router do you have? What you need is called hairpin routing.
-
@scottalanmiller Yes they are.

So first issue is... Windstream. The absolute worst ISP ever. So bad. They actually changed their name to hide their shame. They were Paetec in Rochester and were famous for being unable to get their own lines working. Drop them the moment you can. Hopefully you didn't get into any contracts with them.
Were in a contract. The boss is trying to move to Bright House

AdTran is good, we should be able to figure this out.

@scottalanmiller My boss wants one address for both internal and external
Why would he inject a technical opinion in that way? What if the solution is to have different addresses? What he "wants" is not a business goal, why would he "want" something like that?
He doesnt want to be bothered teaching anyone how to use it

That's not related. What he stated as a "want" isn't the goal. The goal might be "easy to use", having one IP address may or may not solve that problem. That's the problem - it's a proximate goal, not the real goal. Getting focused on a proximate goal is a good way to get derailed and create things that don't really work for the given need.

I'm assuming that you do not have a DMZ?
-
We mentioned previously that you need to configure ownCloud to use the hostname in those shared links. That won't help for external communication but as long as you have the DNS A record pointing to the ownCloud server you won't have an issue internally. You probably have to configure this in the apache file. What you want to do can't be done externally to the ownCloud server. Until you configure this any link you attempt to send out will always have the IP address instead of the hostname.

All internet goes through Windstream so I dont think so

That's not relevant, a DMZ is on your side of the Internet.

That really doesn't matter. You can always go back and change the hostname again to whatever you end up with. From what you've written here you want a hostname in place of the IP address. Is that correct?

There is a SonicWall? Where did this come into the conversation?

We have a SonicWALL but it only does VPNs

Are you trying to reference the ownCloud by IP or by hostname?

IP
Well that's your problem. You can't do that. Fix that first THEN let's work on getting things working as needed. You don't give users IP addresses, that's nuts. Your BOSS thinks this is okay? And he's so dedicated to it that he is using it as an excuse to bypass the FIREWALL?
