We've just changed web hosting companies at the place where I work and uploaded a new website which seems to be running fine and dandy. However, everyone inside our office domain still sees the old site, even though I've deleted the files from our external webspace. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

I've done some research and found that it's because my internal and external domains are the same. Apparently I need to set up forwarding of the DNS to locate my external nameservers. Has anyone got any experience in this? Am I likely to crash my network seriously if I do it wrong?

Do a WHOIS on your domain and see where it's nameservers are currently pointing.
EDIT: Also did you do the transfer very recently, as some webhosts/ISP's can take up to 48 hours to transfer domains.

Not sure, but in the meantime..
Users in the inside domain must still be fetching the pages from a copy stored somewhere inside your network? Update those files too. Get users to clear their browser cache.
Give users the actual external IP address address of site, and get them to type that into browser header for a while, until you get it sorted.
Add manual entry to hosts file with translation.
