I have 10 client PCs running WINNT. They were moved from one location, to a location which recently switched from Token Ring to Ethernet. When I connected the Cat 5 cables, all of the clients were able to access the network, see all of their network drives. In IE5, I entered the applicable proxy server, port 80. None of the PC's can access the internet. I successfully pinged each and every address, including the addresses for the websites, yet NONE of these PC's will access the internet.Any suggestions?
Thank you.

On one of the work stations, in IE, enter the proxy server name and port 8080 and try that. If you can access the internet using port 8080, then port 80 [which you were using] is being used by some program and is not allowing client use as an outbound access socket. [probably the default web site or admin site on IIS.]

Also, try telnet. start, run type in telnet.exe, press enter. at the telnet prompt type set local_echo. press enter. at the telnet prompt type open press enter. You should get a message indicating that port is open and listening. Type helo. The service running at that port will return a message hello. That will tell you if the port is open, listening, and accepting commands. Type quit, press enter, type q press enter to close telnet. you can also use route print at the command prompt to see what your IP routing scheme is. Netstat -an -p TCP will list out all TCP IP addresses and port #s and their status.

Keep talking. How are you connecting to the Internet in the new location? Can you ping an Internet address from anything (proxy server, router) in the new location? I think we need more history.

Is your Proxy Server MS Proxy Server 2? if so install the Winsock Proxy Client, which you'll likely find in \\\mspclnt Just run setup.
