Re: can ping but not see websites from clients

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Leon,

Remove the DG address from the DNS first and then use the real server address instead of the loopback address.

Best regards

Hi,
I have Windows server 2003 with about 40 clients attached. I did have
Webmarshal 3.5 and a firebox connected but this was causing loads of
problems
so I have unintalled Webmarshal and taken the firebox from the system.
I have
given the router DHCP ability and taken it from the server.
I am now able to access the internet from the server without any
problems but all of the clients just get 'this page can not be
displayed' message. I am able to ping the site from the clients
computer though.

We have a static IP address

The router is 192.168.0.254
The server is 192.168.0.203
the ipconfig /all on the server is.

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.ourdomain-local>ipconfig /all

127.0.0.1
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.203
the differnce on the clients is.
The default gateway, dhcp and dns servers are all 192.168.0.254
Under the DNS properties on the server the 'forwarders' is
192.168.0.254 . I have also tried using the static IP address from the
ISP too.

For some totally unknown reason there is one pc in the whole building
that is connected to the domain and it can connect but I don't want to
confuse matters with that one.

Please help me as I have spent hours trying to get this sorted and am
not getting anywhere but I am sure it is a minor change needed.

Thanks in advance
