W2k domain setup running fine - mydomain.co.uk
running DHCP. DNS. Exchange Server as BDC.
Problem is Internet Explorer from client PCs cannot find All other websites are OK.
If I put a PC to static IP and ISP dns server into IP properties it works OK.
Any ideas guys ?
Thanks
 
Yes...this is a common problem where the internal domain administrator uses the public registered internet domain name as thier interal Windows domain name. This is generally NOT recommended. Why? Becuase your will have problems resolving your Internet web sites from inside your network. In addition, there is a security concern becuase the entire Internet will know your internal domain name.

The only work around is to create manual records on your local DNS servers to resolve your external web sites.
