RAS - web surfing

[brian]

Hi all. Need a little help. Have a win2k server setup
with RAS configured. Uses a DHCP scope with DNS addresses
included. ( no root zone in DNS server ). RAS clients can
dial and and get authenticated fine. Check email fine,
but when they try to surf the web, the first page comes
up fine ( msn.com ) but all or just about 98% of all
other pages get error: Page cannot be found. Any
suggestions where I should look/troubleshoot?

Thanks for the tip. I managed to get around this easily,
not sure why I didn't do this first. On the client pc's
dial up networking entry, alter advanced IP settings for
that connection. Assign statically the DNS servers you
wish to use to internet lookups. Notes- does not work if
your internal Win2K DNS servers have a root (.) zone.
Good luck to anyone else who may come across this.
