I am running Win 2000 Pro with IE 5

I am running Win 2000 Pro with IE 5.5 and am having DNS problems through our office LAN. Everything was running fine, I didn't make any changes to the TCP/IP or DNS settings and now DNS doesn't seem to be working. I can ping the DNS servers of our ISP, I can connect to a site by typing the IP address, but DNS won't work. The Win 98 boxes in our LAN are not having a problem... We have a cable router/switch and I have checked that as well.

At first, I was having trouble connecting to some sites (Yahoo, etc.). Now DNS isn't working at all.

Any ideas?

Wait! There's more: I can connect via DNS to any site hosted by our ISP. I get a time-out for any site NOT hosted by them. However, all of the Win 98 boxes in our LAN have full DNS internet access. By the way, we do not have our own DNS server. we rely on those of the ISP for browsing the net. I have double checked the DNS server addresses, subnet masks and router settings...
