Internet access problem

howdy all,

We have a Win 2000 domain that had been using an ISA Server as it's Internet
gateway. We just switched over to DSL and a hardware firewall. I went
through all the workstations and uninstalled Microsoft Proxy Client, then
changed the browser settings, then set the system's gateway address to point
to the firewall's internal address. This gave me access to the Internet on
6 out of 9 machines.

The last 3 refuse to connect to the Internet in any way. I've been through
the TCP settings, checked DNS and WINS, pinged the firewall's internal and
external interfaces, but simply can not connect. The TCP settings and
browser settings are the same on all machines, and they run Win 2000 Pro.
They are not yet all at the same Service Pack, but that's not a common
thread amongst the problem machines.

These machines can resolve names, because they point to our internal DNS
server which forwards DNS requests to our ISP, but if I open a web browser,
the status line shows that it's trying to open the site by IP address, and
it eventually times out. Neither can any other Internet application connect
from these 3 machines.

If you can supply any info, or diagnostic suggestions, both I and the
business's owner thank you in advance.
