Hi Carl,
ipconfig/all will not show the DNS servers that are configured as forwarders
because this is a server configuration and not a client-side configuration
setting. The setting should be transparent to clients.
As for being unable to reach certain websites (if I understand you
correctly), the DNS servers you were given work if you input them directly
into TCP/IP settings, but don't work if configured only as forwarders. This
indicates that there is a problem with forwarding. Is it only a few domains
that don't work, or only a few that do work? Have you set the fowarding to
"all other DNS domains"? Have you tried increasing the number of seconds
before queries time out?
