I have a windows 2000 network consisting of two lan's connected by two modems with an ADSL web connection on one subnet. The problem is that clients on the subnet without the ADSL connection cannot recieve data from the web, but the server can. Although the clients can ping and send requests to the internet. Their is a Windows 2000 server at both end providing routing services. Has anyone encounted this problem before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Matthew

A couple of thoughts: Does PING work for both IP addresses and domain names e.g. ping google.com?
Check the router between the 2 subnets, it may be blocking inbound http or similar.
How do you know the requests are being sent given that you are not seeing a reply?

Yes ping works for google.com and google's IP. The router is not blocking any traffic. I am getting replys from the pings.

Does your server also act as a DHCP server?, I'm assuming that your internal IP is nonroutable, and the gateway is your servers, if you can ping out to the web from the client, it can be possible that the address are not being resolved, you may needto input a DNS address in the tcp/ip stack in your client computers.

Sorry I am not sure where to put my responses to the other posters so I am putting them here to.

The addresses are being resolved by an internal DNS server. eg. I can ping www.yahoo.com. Yes the server also acts as a dhcp server.
