Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials - internet and email problems

hi guys,

i work small west sussex based charity , have real technical problem. in process of installing our first proper server in windows small business server 2011 essentials. system being installed , road tested alongside our existing 'server' (original windows home server).

all of our computers connected micra digital (belkin based) wireless modem router. desktops connected physical cat 5s , laptops via wireless.

the issue have this: both server , test clients have attached have major internet issues. pages google, facebook , bbc news refuse open or @ other times open in strange/corrupted way. none of our email addresses (imap based) work in outlook (server cannot found).  none of these issues occur on machines connected directly router, not on new domain created server.

i have tried:

• different web browsers
• disabling antivirus
• disabled windows firewall on server completely
• resetting our router , restoring factory settings in case old server fiddling remote web access
• kicking , screaming @ deities, servers, , lack of knowledge

at every step both server , client have been restarted

occasionally errors go away , think have solved it, issue come few logins later

i suspect kind of port issue @ loss go here. thought our existing server somehow conflicting new 1 , may have in way screwed initial installation of itself.

this involve me working weekend when no 1 in office , old server can totally off i'd love avoid.

any ideas? i'd grateful.

chris
