ie won't display page after upgrading 2000 server to pdc

[matasanero]

I have just installed 2000 server w/sp2 and a dsl connection to the inernet using an ethernet modem, the server connects ok until the server is upgraded to be the pdc and active directory is installed, at this point i can see that the modem connects to the internet but internet explorer will not display a page.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Are you getting an IP Address? Can you ping external sites? Do you have DNS setup on that server?

The software for the dsl connection shows when the isp server is authenticating the connection and then places an icon on the task bar. I used ipconfig and found that i have an ip address for the lan nic and the pppoe adapter, so that will tellme that i do have an ip address. I can not ping external sites and do not have dns set.I had to setup a vpn on 2000 pro and had to chnge the ip security settings to make it work , if you think that this an area that i need to investigate please let me know.


Thanks
