Hey new kid,

login to the router and look under something like connection status you
should see the DNS settings there.

you should be using DHCP on the server and all clients should be using that,
and the DHCP option for DNS pointing to the internal DNS server with
forwarders set on your servers DNS to resolve external names. This will fix
your connect computer issues.

If you can't find your ISPs DNS settings, then your router will be doing
forwarding for you so you could just add your routers IP as the forwarding
DNS server on your SBS (note this will be slow at resolving and you may get
many timeouts whilst browsing)

you ought to upgrade the service to get a fixed IP if you can.

Forgot to say - would connecting the server via the standard modem to ADSL
solve my problem with DNS or would I still need the IP addresses? The
modem
is USB, is this acceptable?
