is this a DNS problem?

I am running into a strange problem. My server can access a certain web
site my workstations cannot.
They get "The page cannot be displayed".

My servers and workstations are on the same subnet, all pointing to the same
gateway.
All workstations are DHCP, my servers are Static.
I changed a couple of workstations to static to test, but still get "The
page cannot be displayed".
I have not put anything in the group policies.

I have rechecked my DHCP and DNS.

The only thing I can think of is I am getting ready to upgrade to Win3K
server.

I installed a Win3Kserver for my primary AD server. I have a secondary
server still on Win2Kserver as a secondary AD server.
I have transfered all rolls to the Win3Kserver (Global Catalog, yada, yada)

Why would my servers (even terminal server) access this site, but not my
workstations?

btw, the site is http://capwiz.com/nach/home

no internet blocking programs, no spam programs.

I'm confused.

When you say secondary, do you mean the zone is a secondary?
I ask because if these two DCs are in the same domain you cannot have an AD
integrated zone on one with a secondary on the other. If one is in AD, both
must be.

Does the name resolve to the correct IP address from the workstations with
nslookup?

This name wouldn't be the name of your AD domain would it?

Have you checked your MTU?
Start with:
ping capwiz.com -f -l 1472
If it times out reduce the 1472 until the ping returns, add 28 then set that
as the interface MTU (Internet MTU is 1500 -28 for overhead = 1472)
