win2k3 server and workstation internet access

What have i got to open on the Windows firewall so that stations connection to a domain can have internet access? If the firewall is on - not net access. Off and all is fine.

Thanks for replies so far. Torch is right...i do need some direction here; we don't have a hardware firewall (at least at the moment) and to confirm: whenever the Win2k3 Server Windows Firewall is ON the workstations connected to it cannot access the internet. Turn the Win firewall off and they work just fine.

Any pointers of what i need to add/modify?

Thanks all.
