Server 2003 Standard - Cannot browse domain with domain controller!

We have just changed our configuration of our network so that our PDC
has 2 nics rather than 1. Previously, we had a router on the same
network as the lan nic providing internet access. The lan nic is on
192.168.5.230. DNS is the same. All clients are pointing to this ip for
gateway and DNS. Our configuration now is as follows.

Router IP - 192.168.6.254

LAN NIC - ip - 192.168.5.230
mask 255.255.255.0
gw is blank
DNS - 192.168.5.230

WAN NIC - ip - 192.168.6.1
mask 255.255.255.0
gw 192.168.6.254
DNS - 192.168.5.230

Routing and remote access is enable with LAN routing and basic
firewall.

This is an identical configuration to several other sites I manage but
on this site, I cannot browse the network where I could when we were
only using a single nic configuration. Can anyone help? I currently
have 30 users unable to use the ssystem as they should and I am
baffled. If it was SBS, I would run the setup wizard to rebuild the
configuratiopn but alas, this is not SBS so what do I do?

You may have a name resolution issue if you are running DC on a multihomed computer or enabling RRAS. To fix this issue, disable DNS and WINS register on the WAN IP. this troubleshooting may help,

Works great if you are routing to the internet but a WAN
configuration requires such services on both NICs. Change
the PDC role holder or use another machine to route between
both segments. Have a look at the following:
