John,

Make sure that all of your clients point only to the Internal DNS Server(s).
The only place where your ISP's DNS Server information should show up is the
Forwarders tab.

How are they receiving their IP leases?

Is there connectivity? Check the switches / hubs.

Yep thanks it was a DNS problem
I guess it was searching the internet for the server first.

John,

It almost always is. This is a very, very common Admin mis-configuration.
