I've recently installed a Windows 2000 Terminal Server to replace our old NT box. Everything works as it should apart from the internet...

DNS is resolving the URL to the IP. The status bar shows that it is connecting to site 207.68.172.244 (for example - www.msn.com), scroll bar moves along slowly, then after a while it returns 'The page cannot be displayed' server or DNS error.

Have I missed something glaringly obvious??

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for answering but this doesn't fix it... 'You Cannot Connect to Terminal Services from a Web Page' is not the problem. We can access the Terminal Server no problem - we use the standard terminal server client access program. Once we are connected though we cannot view any web pages on the terminal server.

Can you ping 207.68.172.244 ? No.....I'd suspect your default gateway.

Can you ping www.msn.com? No....then I'd suspect a DNS problem. Try entering one of your ISP's DNS servers manually.

I can't ping; We block pinging on the network, I'm confident that the gateway is okay though as the name is being resolved wether I use our internal DNS or our ISP's DNS; to get to the ISP's DNS it must be negotiating the gateway.

Thanks anyway.
