Have to restart the DNS to access Internet with NAT/Remote Access, why?

Setup:

Internet - Server - Client

The server is running DHCP, WINS, DNS and NAT (Routing and Remote
Access). Internet NIC is set up with external IP and Gateway, and
127.0.0.1 as DNS. The DNS server is set up to forward DNS requests to
my ISP (read about this in a group around here)

My problem is, when I restart the server, I can't reach the Internet by
DNS-names. I can ping external IPs, but not names (www.google.com i.e).
If I go to services and restart the DNS, everything works as it should.
This goes for both the clients and the server

Thanks in advance!
