I can ping my server but can't access it through IE, nor can I access the router?

Tags: Microsoft, Small Business Server, 2003
Hey,

We have had to change the IP address, as Tiscali mucked up.  Anyway, Although I have waited for the new IP to propagate it doesn't want to go to my server.  Here is what I mean...

If I ping the name.site.co.uk that I have pointing to the static IP that tiscali gave me it gets a reply from the right IP address.

However, when i type the name OR IP into google it comes up with "The connection has timed out"

Any ideas as it is really annoying, I have tried rebooting the router, going throught the CEICW wizard...really stuck.

Not sure it is soley a SBS problem as I have tried ip:8080 and i can't access the router either...

Any ideas would be REALLY appreciated,

Hopefully something simple.

Cheers,

Graham.
