I have just upgraded my domain from a mixed NT/2000 Domain to a Windows 2003 Active Directory. I am having an issue trying to connect to I always get "The page cannot be displayed" at the top and "Cannot find server or DNS Error" at the bottom of the page. I have successfully connected to the yahoo site using its IP address. When I ping I get the following...

C:\Documents and Settings\administrator>ping Ping request could not find host Please check the name and try again.

All other web sites seem to be working fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Did you setup and external DNS server as a forwarder on your AD DNS server?
 
Yeah I used our ISPs DNS servers as forwarders, and they work fine when configured on the local PC. Should I be using another external DNS Server as a forwarder?
