Weird problem getting to our Website

We are running a Native Win2K AD Domain. Some machines on
our network are able to access our own website, other
machines aren't.

Sometimes reinstalling the network card drivers allows
access, but it can then disappear after the next reboot.

Those people on laptops who are having problems can access
the site fine from remotely via dialup and broadband.

This SEEMS to be machine specific, but frankly, I'm at a
loss. Any help would be much appreciated :)

What happens when they try? Where is the website hosted? Are you using the
same domain name in AD as your public Internet domain?

Internal AD Domain name the same as the public domain the web site is in?
This is because as required any machine joined to the AD domain must use the
internal DNS server which probably has not had the required records added
for the public web site.
The answer is NOT to have your ISP's DNS in your NIC, you MUST only use your
DNS server that holds the AD zone, then add the records to that zone you
need to access your public web sites.
If you will post your internal domain name, along with the web site names
you need to access, I will post step by step instructions for the records
you need to add to your zone.
