| Most likely a DNS issue. Are ALL the machines on your network pointing to
| the Windows 2000 DNS server as their Primary? Is it pointing to itself
also?
| This is how it must be setup and then you use DNS forwarders to resolve
| Internet address from your internal DNS server. Most issues of network
| browsing are caused by DNS in windows2k
