We just installed windows 2003 and AD/DNS and *almost* everything is working
fine. Our domain name is hosted by our ISP. Let's call it "mycompany.com".
Our AD/DNS domain name is "hq.mycompany.com" and it is NOT on the Internet.
Now that we are on AD yahoo.com is not working right. Yahoo.com seems to be
the only site having a problem. My users can pull up www.yahoo.com just
fine. However, when they click on MOST of the links on the home page it
times out. It was working just fine when we were running the NT 4.0 domain
just last week. What this means is no one can get to yahoo mail and other
yahoo sites. Anyone ever heard of this?

We are using a CISCO PIX firewall (NAT/PAT) and no proxies servers. No web
caching at all.

Thanks for any and all help.

This is a DNS problem. Is DNS running on your server, and are your client
machines using the server for DNS? (Or at least using _something_ for DNS?)

To find out who your DNS servers are, at the command prompt type:

ipconfig /all

To test DNS, at the command line type:

nslookup blah.blah.com

where blah.blah.com is any *real* site that you haven't looked at recently.
