I have 2 mac g4's in the office running OSX as well as 8 beige g3's running 9.2. We are in a situation where we are using the NT4 network to access the mail(OUTLOOK EXPRESS) and the internet(T1).Also we have a couple of servers(MAC) on our network. The PC guys have recently installed a sonic firewall. Since the firewall has been installed I cannot connect to our website from inside the firewall unless I make an entry in the Mac's DNS.. I make this DNS entry in OSX under prefs then Network then DNS. When I do this I can connect to our website inside the firewall. The beige G3's have the same issue and I havent even looked closely at them yet. Herein lies the problem. I cannot at that time get any mail. If I remove the DNS entry under Network in DNS on OSX I can connect to the internet(but not our website) and I can get our mail. I have asked the PC network guys to be sure and make a entry into the DNS server to resolve the mail severs IP,they have assured me that this is already in place or none of the PC's could connect properly.
Can anybody help me with a resolution to this Problem?

To allow users to get their email and get to our website.I have made 2 profiles for each OSX box so that the first is set for being able to get mail and the internet. The 2nd is being able to get to the internet and our internal webserver but this will not be able to get mail.
