Client computer internet connection problems



Good Evening,
I am new the SBS 2003 OS and an trying to get internet access to 4
computers from my server. I use the server as a DHCP server, so there
is no router involved, just the server a 4 port switch. I run the
Internet Configuarion Wizard and I can get my computer to access the
Internet just fine, but no clients can access and I have no idea what
Im doing wrong. I have configured DHCP on the server and its running.
All Forwarding DNS servers have been input into the DNS server. Still
nothing. I have been looking at a few books to help out. One thing I
noticed differently is that I do not have WINS Proxy Enabled turned on
and instead of only having smallbusiness.local as thej DNS suffix
search list, I also have cable.rcn.com in there as well. I use RCN for
broadband cable. I also noticed that when I run an IPCONFIG on a client
computer the Connection-specific DNS suffix is not smallbusiness.local
but cable.rcn.com. I have no idea why its there or how it got there and
from what I've read, the client should be looking at the local DNS not
RCN. Can someone please help me as my frusteration level is increasing?
I have no where else to look and don't have that much experience as I'm
trying to learn everything on my own. However I'm at a stop. Any
thoughts on how to get rid of the cable.rcn.com as the DNS Suffix? Is
that even the problem. Pleae help! Thanks very much in advance.
