Can connect in network but not outside

[Rod]

I am baffled. I can connect a Windows 2000 client to the
network. It can ping any internal ip address and servers,
however, it cannot ping anything outside the network even
though it has internet access (although only under the
Administrator's login). It doesn't make sense.

Could you give me some indication as to what to look for?

Are you running something like ISA that restricts access by user
account? (You mention "under the admin logon") Normally their is
no such per user restriction available.

Provide your symptoms explicitly (ping AND tracert for EACH type of
user) AND give your IPConfig /all and some indication of your default
gateway and router setup.

Are you having a Name Resolution problem or is IP by address failing
completely? It is common for Ping to be disallowed through many firewalls
(ICMP is blocked) while other things MIGHT work (e.g., http on port 80 TCP)

You might try NetCat (nc.exe) if the problem persists (or just use Telnet
because
it is available...) telnet www.yahoo.com 80
