Windows 2003 server, DNS forwarding to internet not working

I have a windows 2003 std server that currently is a member of a
workgroup AT, as are the xp workstations. I'm trying to get ready to
install AD but first DHCP and DNS. DHCP works fine. LAN pc names are
resolved by the DNS service but the workstations cannot browse to the
internet (server can).

Setup:
Firewall (smoothwall) ip 192.168.0.1 (dhcp service turned off)

Win2003 server std, one nic.
IP 192.168.0.10 /24
default gateway 192.168.0.1 (ie firewall)
pref dns server (my isp's dns server address
this win2003 server can browse the internet fine.
dhcp service scope range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.200

All xp workstation are set to auto obtain ip and pref dns server.

Switch joins firewall, server, workstations.

Server and workstations can ping each other and the firewall fine.

I've been using whatever.local at the machine name suffix, I think I
need to do that (at the ws and server dialogs for network identity) but
it's a point of confusion.

I've run the DNS wizard many times, it seems straightforward. Does
resolve local pc names so that part is ok. Steps:

Choose to create a forward lookup zone
This server maintains the zone
Zone name set to whatever.local
Accept default for zone file name
Have variously opted to allow or disallow dynamic updates
Forward requests that this server cannot handle to: (my isp's dns server
ip)

I am sure it's something simple that I'm missing, hopefully someone can
spot it?
