The client computers are able to find ip addresses via nslookup to the DNS running on the domain server, they just can't see beyond the domain server to the Internet. The domain server has full access to the Internet and Intranet. I've been researching this and ran into a brick wall where I'm out of ideas. Can anyone give me a clue?
