I have a Windows XP Home machine that has a broken DNS service. Any
adapter I try on this machine, I can ping internal and esxternal
addresses fine, including my ISPs DNS servers, but cannot run nslookup
or ping domainnames.

It started after loading Linksys USB wireless adapter, but is
affecting all adapters now. I can map internal network drives by name
(NetBIOS) and transfer files but cannot ping domainnames. NSLookup
times out connecting to DNS servers.

I have restarted the DNS Client service several times, disabled and
stopped MacAfee Firewall service, as well as Anti-Virus, run ipconfig
/registerDNS, ipconfig /flushdns, all to no avail. I HAVE noticed
that the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\DNSRegisteredAdapters
key is blank on the affected machine, but populated on functional
machines.

Any ideas?

I'm about to re-install the OS, unless someone has any clues as to
what I can try to get DNS working again.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jeff
