The company I work at just transitioned to a new server, everything is set up the exact same. Only one problem, when we try to connect to ATT Worldnet we can get connected but cannot view pages or access mail. I tried Earthlink on the same server and a Primenet account also. Those two worked fine. I think it has to do with something about you having to specify DNS servers for acceess to ATT...any helpful ideas?

1. Can you ping the web site?

example:
ping www.yahoo.com

if you cannot, try:
ping 204.71.200.68 (Yahoo's IP)

2. Check if you can access the web sites by their IP addresses.

for example: http://204.71.200.68

Ifyou can access web sites thru their IP addesses, it means your DNS may has something wrong.

3. One question:

Are u using ICS or Proxy for the Internal LAN? Can you access the Internet on your server?

4. Also, check if you have obtained the IP address from your ISP?

in Windows: run ipconfig/all to view your IP address.

hope the information above helps.

After doing ipconfig /all I noticed that for some reason it was being bound to the second NIC card that is not in use, edited the settings and all is working fine now, Thanks
