DNS in XP Pro does not try to resolve

I have an XP Pro computer that will not try to resolve DNS.

It is in a Windows domain, receives DHCP fine, pings O.K. by I.P. address even on to the internet. However, it will not try to resolve DNS. Nslookup works fine. DNS servers are working. I tried assigning DNS servers statically but that did not solve the problem

Then I turned on logging on my DNS servers and found out that this computer is not even tring to contact the DNS servers

It tried the fix under the thread "Did my network card fail" where you delete Winsock and Winsock2 from the registry and reinstall TCP/IP, but that did not fix the problem

Anyone have any other ideas, any help would be appriciated

How are you testing DNS? Are you testing with IE or some other application?
Have you tested pinging by name?
Are you testing with just a host name or a FQDN?
Is the DNS client service running?
Do you have a Hosts file configured?
What happens when you open a command window and run "ipconfig /flushdns"
then run "ipconfig /displaydns"?
