From which we assume you still have problems. OK, those numbers look reasonable, though I'm never happy using the 10. network with anything other than a class A netmask i.e. 255.0.0.0, as I've been bitten more than once by software which assumes this. Shouldn't be a problem with SBS, though.

So how far can you get?

Ping Internet sites by IP address from SBS?

Ping Internet sites by name from SBS?

If not, are the ISP's DNS servers listed as forwarders to SBS? This is set in the CEICW, you either enter public DNS servers or leave the entry blank, in which case the SBS will use the Internet Root servers. If they are used, try again leaving them blank to see if this changes anything.

If you do have these servers listed as forwarders, can you ping them by IP address from the SBS? It's not unknown for an ISP to have customers and servers on two or more IP blocks, only accessible from other addresses in the same block.
