Can you ping the servers on the internet by name?
Can you ping the same server by IP address?
In your ipconfig is the internal AD DNS listed only?
No ISP or external DNS is allowed on any member of an AD domain, if you have
your ISP's DNS listed you must remove it, then verify the "." Forward Lookup
Zone has been deleted, and that recursion is not disabled (Advanced tab).
Forwarders are optional, but you can forward to an External DNS server that
supports recursive lookups.
