I've got one w2k machine on a LAN that can ping and telnet by IP
number but any use of dns names fails. This is a DHCP machine and
it's getting the same DNS server IP #s that the other machines are.

The DNS server is upstream and we have a linksys soho router .

All the other machines work fine.

The event log doesn't have any error that apply.

Any suggestions ?

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

First of all, can you ping the DNS server? When you try an nslookup, what is
the message? Does name resolution fail for hostname as well as for FQDN?
