Thanks iSiek<br />
I actually solved the problem by restarting the Firewall Service &amp;&nbsp;the Routing and Remote Access Service.<br />
But thanks for the link which led me onto other useful links about understanding DNS and how it is setup on the server.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have SBS 2003 SP2<br />
<br />
I cannot get any Internet access - more exactly the server (or any of the users) cannot browse the Internet.<br />
<br />
from SBS2003:<br />
I can Ping the gateway router <br />
I can Ping an IP address on the Internet - 4.2.2.2<br />
I can Ping <a href="http://www.google.co.uk" rel="ugc">www.google.co.uk</a><br />
Exchange OK - Users are sending/receiving Outlook e-mail <br />
<br />
I have disconnected m,y laptop from the network and connected to the gateway router wirelessly.<br />
Same problem until I change the DNS server settings inthe NIC IP properties to use 8.8.8.8 (google's public DNS, it is my fall back test DNS IP) Then the browser connects to web home page.<br />
<br />
Obviously a DNS issue but where to look?<br />
I can't change the server's NIC DNS IP Properties as this function is carried out within SBS in the forwarders section of DNS.<br />
<br />
I am stumped on this, just for the fact that with DNS problems I cannot usually ping both IP and name addresses!<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time<br />

No Internet Browsing Access

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
