I tried NSLookup, and it works, and it works well. I get replies from my DNS
server, and non-authoritative server. When i try to ping something like
yahoo.com, or using its ip address, i get request timed outs. I cannot
tracert either from the server. This works well on the other computers
though. I cannot browse the net using the ip addresses. I checked my
gateway, DNS, subnet, IP, everything seems to be correct.
I can ping local machines using either their ip addresses and i can browse
to local network IIS server sites
