I'm running SBS 2003, when I try to connect to the internet on the browser I get the error message "cannot display page", also my antivirus cannot update; otherwise I have network connectivity, the server can see the network, the PC's can see the server; also my offline backup service is working which initiates connection from the internet; any suggestions as to the internet connectivity problem? Thanks!

Seems to me like its a firewall/port issue. When some services can and some cant thats usually the case. can the pc's on your server see the net?

Go to a command prompt for both the server and a workstation and type: "ipconfig /all" without the quotes. What's the DNS for each device. if the server is pointing to itself (127.0.0.1), open Administrative Tools > DNS and make sure that your ISP's DNS servers are set as forwarders, they would resolve any DNS requests that your server can't resolve. Your online backup would work because usually they use IP addresses so no DNS needs to be resolved.
If that doesn't work check your Internet Connection Properties in IE and make sure that you do not have a Proxy Server assigned.
