Running NT 4.0 with SoHO Watchguard firewall. Am having trouble with DNS. Able to connect with DNS supplied by ISP, however manage own server and site, cannot get out with our own DNS?

Any ideas

If your provider gives you a number of addresses try moving the server and a station outside of the firewall (either physically or by placing them in a DMZ) to determine if the SOHO is the issue. Update the SOHO software to the latest version (5?) it's interface is far less cumbersome than it's predecessor. In it allow DNS traffic from your server to move out of the firewall. Your forward resolution might be failing. Another way to test this is to add a DNS record for a site you know on your own server. If this fails to reset the firewall and allow all traffic to go to the outside world. If that fails get a new device.

Is your DNS registration for your site paid up to date? I've seen this many times where this is the only problem.
