Ahh, ok that makes sense. In that case the DNS and 2003 server's should be behind
the firewall with the rest of the clients.

Do your DNS servers show host records for the 2003 server? When clients log into
the domain, are you getting any errors or problems?
You sard "The 2k3
server GETS its ip from the 64.xxx linux DNS server". Does that mean it's getting
it's IP from DHCP? This server, like any server, should have a static IP not included
(excluded and/or reservered) in the DHCP scope.

2003 built in firewall is turned on and preventing access. It could be your main
firewall. Whatever firewall(s) you use have to port forward, whatever ports you
want to allow to connect to the 2003 server (ex: HTTP, port 80), to the IP address
of your 2003 server.
