Hi all, here's todays quandry; the client has had a SBS + 5 or so workstations in place now for around 1 year, suddenly today the workstations are no longer able to access the internet, via IE6, but the server still can.
I noticed that my ISP's preferred DNS addresses had changed, and i re-ran the CEICW and re-inputted the new primary & secondary DNS addresses accordingly, but still no joy.
I can ping & run a tracert to an external website (www.bbc.co.uk) from the workstations, and they resolve the address correctly, and i have also run ipconfig /flushdns, but again without a result.
What am i missing? Is it a DNS issue, or is this a red herring?
See below for an ipconfig /all from the server & workstation.
Thanks in advance.......

EDIT - It now transpires tha teach machine can open google, and google for anything, but cannot access any other sites. I'll run a virus/spyware/malware scan & see if that rectifies things.....
