Re: DNS Server without connectivity

Thanks for the quick reply, but it was no help.

I disconnected from the router, brought the internet connection into a new
switch fresh out of the box, connected only the server to it, made sure there
are no proxy settings on he browser and disabled the windows firewall. Still
cannot access any http functions.

Any other ideas?

1. It is being blocked by a Firewall
2. It is being blocked by a local "personal" firewall or by local ACLs at
the TCP/IP level of the nic.
3. It is being blocked by and ACL on a LAN Router if it crosses a router to
get to the internet
4. The browser has "proxy settings" entered into it that go to a
misconfigured proxy, or a dead proxy, or an unreachable proxy, or a
non-existent proxy. Many http based applications "borrow" the browser's
proxy settings automatically and would fall victem to the same problem.
Browser proxy settings do not effect winsock based applications or anything
done from the comandline.

I have a 2003 Server Standard edition. It is configured as our DNS server.
We have 75 clients that point to it for DNS and they all work fine. The
other day I logged into the server for some AD maintenance and found that
the
antivirus would not update on the server. The error message suggested
making
sure the machine had internet connectivity. I fired up Internet Explorer
and
I get the "Page cannot be displayed" error. I have had connectivity on
this
server for years, so this is new.

I have tried pinging internet sites and have success both using ip
addresses
as well as domain names. I can connect to ftp sites using both ip
addresses
and domain names. It seems that any http traffic from any program; IE,
antivirus, installation programs, whatever, are not not going out.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it because I am completely
flabergasted.
