Several reasons for this but 90% of the time it's DNS. I can mention about 50
things to check but ultimately all you gotta really check is that your zone
is AD integrated and NOT forwarding internal name resolution requests to the
ISP's DNS address.
If you are using DHCP or static addresses just make sure the requests are
going to the right place for the right request.
