Question : DHCP Clients can browse network but not internet or resolve nslookup to DC or external URL

Hi all

First time posting here so forgive me if I leave any info out.

I currently run a small network of about 60 users, Domino mail server, Server 2003 Std DC configured with DHCP and DNS.

My workstations receive their IP's via DHCP but have an issue with some of the workstations including mine; example of the configuration I receive on my notebook:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-26-2D-FE-0B-F8
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::34d1:fb88:3360:bc6e%13(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.232(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254
   DHCPv6 IAID . . . . . . . . . . . : 285222445
   DHCPv6 Client DUID. . . . . . . . : 00-01-00-01-13-7E-83-11-00-26-2D-FE-0B-F8

   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.10
   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

The problem I have is that certain DHCP clients are unable to browse the internet, I have run ipconfig /all on the problem workstations and have confirmed that they receive all the correct information, I have checked my forward and reverse lookup zones on my DC, have also deleted and recreated my Host (A) records for the problem pc's but still they are unable to browse the internet. These systems can browse the local network and shares just fine and are even able to ping external url's, the are however unable to do nslookup's to my DC or to any other system or url. As soon as I give the problem system a static IP they are able to browse the net just fine.

I am a bit baffled by this as it would seem that there's something fishy with my DNS but not all my workstations have this problem.

Any ideas?
