Group,

I seem to be having a problem with my sbs2003 server. If I log in
locally to the server I have access to both companyweb (intranet) and
the internet. However if I log onto one of my client machines I either
have internet access or intranet access but not both. It seems to be
affected by how i have the DHCP scope options set up. According to a
MSKB article i read the dhcp should be set to assign the LAN card NIC
IP address (192.168.0.7) as the primary DNS for all clients that log
in. When I set it up this way I have access to the intranet site
(http://companyweb/) but if I try to access Google or anything on the
internet I get denied. I can however ping internet IP addresses.
Puzzling...

Now where it gets really interesting is if I add my ISP's DNS servers
to the list in the DHCP scope options I gain access to the internet.
However it is at the expense of my intranet website
(http://companyweb/). I still have access to the network and all my
resources, just NOT companyweb. If I type server2k3 (host name) into
the address bar I get a sbs2003 webpage but not the companyweb. I have
searched high and low for any information regarding this and have so
far come up empty. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Eric S.
