I've tried entering both the name and IP address of the webserver and get connection fail in Internet Explorer. In FireFox, the error is "Unable to determine IP address from host name."

Explain "doesn't work". Error message, timeout, what? What are you entering as the URL -- name or IP address? If only one, try the other. Have you tried a non-MSIE browser (MSIE tends to give the same error message for everything)? On a client, open a command prompt, and do TELNET WebServerName 80 If you get a connection, type: GET / and hit ENTER twice (blank line). If name resolution fails, try by IP address, see if that makes a difference. > I can ping both the webserver's name and IP address from the > 172.17.x.x PCs without problem.
