Unable to browse the Internet from Win Server 2003

Hello, I am setting up windows server 2003 standard edition as a test
environment. For the specific tests we need to run, we must be able to
browse the Internet. I can connecting to the box using Remote Desktop, and
from there I can ping the DNS IP address; however, I cannot browse the
Internet. I have temporarily turned off the firewall, and I have disabled
Internet Explorer Enhanced Security, all to no avail. I have also
experimented with the IP Filter Settings for Packet Filter: specifically,
settings for Open "HTTP/S Output" and "HTTP/S Input", and "Block All." None
of this seems to work. Please let me know what is needed to enable Internet
browsing.

Thanks,

Keith

What errors do you get?
Are you using AD and is this server a member of the domain?
You said you could ping your DNS server - can you also ping something by
name (try www.google.com).?

Sounds like your TCP/IP properties may not be set correctly.

Post the results of your IPCONFIG /ALL here.

AD = Active Directory.....a domain. Do you have a Windows domain? If so, you
have (or ought to have) an internal DNS server that handles all internal DNS
requests - and forwards external requests to your ISP's DNS servers.

I see from your other reply that you're using public IP addresses on this
box....why is that? And what is this box connected to?

Thanks. Now for the questions...

How did your server get these addresses? Via DHCP from your router? Did you
assign them manually? Which ones? Some manually some via DHCP? Which ones.
That would help a lot.

To echo another posters question, why does this box have a public IP
address? Did you manually put it in or did it obtain it automatically from
your router? How is your network connected?

What kind of Internet connection do you have? Cable? DSL? Dialup?

Basically, you need your IP to be on the same network as your gateway. If
you changed 10.255.255.1 to 82.165.186.xx that might do it. Or, if you
changed all the 82.165.186.x addresses to 10.x.x.x. that might do it. But we
need to know how your network is setup.

You infer that you have other machines that can access the Internet. Can you
post an IPCONFIG /ALL from a working workstation here?

The ipconfig /all indicates it's a static IP (DHCP = no), FWIW.

That's an excellent suggestion!
