Strange problem, I have a small 5 user network with 2 servers. All the
systems can access the local network, but can not access the internet.
If I set a system to static IP, using the same settings found when I
did a 'ipconfig /all', it works fine. I just moved dhcp to the new
server, but all I can't imagine what might be happening.

Any suggestions?

This is usually caused by an incorrect default gateway setting. LAN
routing is fine as long as the IP address and subnet mask are correct. To
access the Internet the default gateway address needs to be the local
address of your gateway router (unless you are using a proxy server).

Thanks for the reply!

As it truned out, the DNS Domain name wan't set on the new DNS server,
and that's all it took. I set that and all is well.
