I have tried everything to get this to work.

I just picked up NIS 2003 and after I install it I cannot surf the net.
I can FTP, I can ping, just No DNS.

I am running through MY router and have tried everything I can think of to fix it.

Any ideas?

Have you tried disabling the firewall included in NIS? and just using the router firewall?

Yeah, but even then it won't work. I have to disable the whole pogram for it to work again.

poo im at work now.
ill have to check at home to be certain but they are in the 1000-1080 range if i remember correctly
nis also takes control of all loopback connections and runs them back thru the proxy.
try unblocking the all the router ports and let nis do all the work?

or temp unblock the router and open the nis status page.
it'll tell u what ports nis is using
