I have a situation where my clients, including myself, cannot get to a
particular websites.. I get the msn cannot find domain webpage. I even
try putting in the IP Address of the website and still no luck. I am
not using any proxies since I have a straight shot to the internet
from our PC's.

WE do have firewalls in place and a IDS system but this would not
explain why my Windows Servers can access the website and not my
clients since we all go through the same pipe.
We use Windows DNS and I do have my ISP's DNS in its forwarders. My
clients get their ip addresses through DHCP which only has the ip
addresses of my internal DNS Servers. Nothing external.

I don't know if there is some sort of group policy or if there is some
issues with DNS for Microsoft. Its wierd that I cannot get to websites
on my clients but my servers can.

Any ideas??

Can you post an ipconfig /all for the server and a client, please?

Then Kevin replied below:

You probably have more problems than you know. Your server is using SBC's
DNS in its NIC you need to remove them. You are probably getting
registartion errors in the event log on the servers that you didn't mention.
Use the DNS console to get to the properties of your DNS servers.
Put SBC's DNS in on the forwarders tab, if the forwarders tab is grayed out
open Forward Lookup zones and delete the ".'' then refresh the DNS console
or close it and reopen it. Then you can enable the forwarder. This will also
enable the Root Hints.
If the "." zone is already gone go to the Advanced Tab and make sure
"Disable recursion" is NOT checked.
If you have a public website in thisismydomain.net open that zone and create
a host named www pointing to the IP of your website.

B> I even try putting in the IP Address of the website and

Then this is not a DNS problem, since the DNS is not involved when one does
that.

What other possiblities could it be ??

Is there some sort of GP that prohibits users to go to a website? Now
being that I do everything on the network, I haven't set any GP up
beside a default one. If there something in a default GP that I would
have to either enable or disable ?

When I put in the IP address of the website ONLY, I still cannot get
to the website.

B> What other possiblities could it be ??

* An IP connectivity problem (too many hops, or a firewall without the
correctly shaped hole knocked into it, for examples).

* A proxy HTTP service problem.

* An incorrect description of the symptoms of the problem on your part,
leading the people who are trying to help you up the garden path. (e.g. When
you use a URL with a literal IP address you in fact _are not_ presented with
an error page produced by your web browser, but are presented with something
quite different.)
