I have a small biz 2003 server environment.

I have users who can access the server re: network shares ...but can not
access outbound HTTP traffic.
Other comments;

1. Email traffic seems to be flowing both ways.
2. Work stations seem to take a long time to start-up - especially taking a
long time to "prepare network connections"
3. Hit or miss some work station and sever can access Http, while other can
not
4. Might be some conflicts w/ DHCP

Looks like a DNS issue to me. One of the first things a domain-joined
client tries to do is contact a domain controller/global catalog server. It
finds these by making DNS requests to the DNS server specified in its
connection settings (either set manually or by DHCP) for SRV records that
provide this information. If your client machines are pointing to external
DNS servers or no DNS servers then these queries take a long time and
time-out, thus the "prepare network connections" taking a long time.

And once you have DNS issues there, you can expect those to carry through to
the rest of the client experience...web browsing, etc.

Please post the results of an ipconfig /all for both the server and for
a workstation.

Hi Merv - Thank you for your help.

I have a scree shot of the IP config - I am not sure how to post to the new
group - I am using a browser view. Is there an email address I can send this
to?

Also in event viewier I am getting a error 1053/1054

The DHCP/BINL service on this computer running Windows Server 2003 for Small
Business Server has encountered another server on this network with IP
Address, 192.168.1.1, belonging to the domain

Merv was asking you to run the command at a command prompt (DOS cmd prompt)

So at the C:\whatever> prompt enter the following;

ipconfig /all >ipconfig.txt

Then;

notepad ipconfig.txt

then cut and paste the contents to a reply to the post
