Cisco 837 router added then clients are unable to resolve DNS

When I am at the Small Business Server 2003 with two NICS, one for internet through ISA and one for local network, and I type "ping bbc.com" the server resolves the address and shows the results of the ping.  When I am at a client on the network the dns name does not resolve to the ip address and I get the message "ping request could not find host bbc.com......".  

I am unsure what to change as the client can actually ping the site if I enter the ip address as obtained from the server.

Any idea what I need to do?

The only change is a cisco 837 router I added to the network.  I had no problem with the previous router.

The cisco configuration follows:

Go to a command prompt (Start, Run, CMD) on both the server and the workstations.  Type "ipconfig /all" and compare the DNS server entries.  Make sure they are the same on both.  If running a DHCP server, check to make sure it is handing out the correct DNS server addresses to your clients.  Nothing on the router should be blocking DNS lookups.

to make it work, then you need to enable dns forward and reverse.
It doesn't look like the 837 is providing DHCP services, so, with that said, do an IPCONFIG /ALL and make sure you have DNS server entries.  If you are running DHCP, you should add the appropriate DNS servers in the Scope options.

I have traced the problem to the SBS2000 Firewall Client on the specific client computer.  The client was set to "Automatically detect ISA server" and when I took this option off and simply named the NETBIOS name of the server the DNS started resolving again.

Weird.
