Hey, and thanks for your consideration in advance. I’m redoing a network for a company I’ve started working with recently, using a server running Windows Server 2003 as the gateway and nat translator for the network.
Basic layout is Internet — Server —- Router —- Workstations.
Having a weird problem however, the workstations are only able to access the internet sporadically. It’s the weirdest thing, sometimes they can, sometimes they cant. I have absolutely no idea what causes them to NOT be able to access the internet. The server is running its own dns (internal) and for external addresses, forwards inquiries to external servers. Here’s the other part: Even when the workstations cant access the internet, they’re able to nslookup any site through the server, and the server IS able to get to the internet. I’m pretty sure it’s a configuration specific problem, but I’m lost, can any one please help me out?
