Is your server a domain controller? If so, then you probably have dns installed and your nic is configured to use that Dns server. By default Your dns server will not resolve Internet IP addresses.

To fix this, open the dns server management app. Right-click on the server name and pick properties. Then you either need to configure your root hints or add a forwarder.

for root hints, the easiest thing to do is to use the import option and enter the ip address of a public DNS server like 8.8.8.8

however, in a small environment using a forwarder is better. add your isp's dns servers to the forwarders list or use some public ones like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    Don't mean to be offensive - but the above is fairly standard network admin stuff, are you really in the position to setup their whole domain?
