Even tho this is in the NT thread I am assuming you are using AD? (You mention 2000 server). Anyway you have sort of solved this problem yourself. Win2000 machines require reference to dns in order to locate domain controllers for logon. (See the srv records in the zone fiel for your domain). Your isp dns server will obviously not provide these. You should configure your local dns server to refer to the isp dns for internet queries. You can do this in the server properties in dns admin.

Any problems post back.
