I think you might have something screwy with your default route- First off remove proxy settings for now on the machine having issues


now type

'netstat -r'

If default route points to router/gateway

try pinging gateway ping 10.X.X.1

try to ping outside address ---ie ping 69.147.125.65 (ip=www.yahoo.com)

If that works ping by domain name ping www.yahoo.com

You should find the issue in one of the above things to check

Check DNS

you dont have DNS defined. If using DHCP make sure it is passing DNS, or add DNS manually.

network preferences/interface/advanced/dns

What i did to Resolve the problem forwarder IP Address was wrong plus i had to create a pointer on Window server which is DHPC lease server then On Mac Server Went to Server Admin----DNS----Setting-----Accept recrursive----localnet and on Forwarder IP Address 10.x.x.3 instead of router Ip Address of 10.x.x.1 Bingo it worked.

Thanks your help mate.
