Okay, I've narrowed down the problem, but I'm still not sure how to solve
it. I checked out the suggestion shown below (forwarding the DNS address)
without any luck. So I removed the DNS role from the server figuring that if
it's a DNS issue then removing the role should make me able to access the
internet. It did not. So I did a NTBackup of the system state and did an
inplace restore from the Server cd which would overwrite any installed
patches.
When the server came up - I was able to connect to the internet, however the
driver for my PCI NIC card (a DLink DGE-530T) wasn't installed. I installed
this driver and rebooted the computer. I was then unable to connect to the
internet. I uninstalled the DLink driver and was once again able to connect.
Assuming that the DLink NIC driver was causing the problem, I installed a
Intel Pro 1000 MT card. Once again, as soon as I installed the driver for
the other card, my internet connection failed. When I disabled the Intel,
the connection returns. It's almost like the server is looking for the 1st
NIC it can find for the internet connection. When there is only 1 NIC (the
motherboard) it can find the internet, however when I install the 2nd NIC
for the file server, it looks there and stops. DNS still has not been
re-installed.
Anyone know what's going on and what I need to do to correct it?
Thanks!

Does your dns server forward unknown requests to your ISP's dns server?
It needs to do this to get Internet name resolution? Bring up the mmc
console for dns left click and then right click on the server, select
properties, select the forwarders tab and enter in your ISP ip address.
What about your gateway address? Do you have the routes setup to get out
to the internet?

New install of Server 2003 1-4CPU version (I believe this is the 64-bit
version). Installed it on a new hard drive 2 days ago, it installed fine
and I was able to authorize it over the internet.
However, once I set it up as a file server with DNS and DHCP I can no
longer access the internet getting the 'can't connect to the internet'
message.
These are some of the things I have tried:
1. Checked my network connection. All information is as it should be,
however, I only see packets sent (366 in this case) and only have 6
packets received.
2. Checked my DNS server: The internet address is not encluded. My DNS
range is 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.254 my current internet IP address is
67.78.154.73 (static IP from my internet provider).
3. Checked my DHCP server: As far as I can see the internet IP address is
not being picked up in anyway.
4. Installed a new NIC card, used a different cable, pluged the cable
into different router ports, tried different assigned static IP
addresses.
Anyone have some suggestions on how to proceed short of starting over?
Thanks!
