DNS

[Dirk]

Hi,

Name resolution doesn't work anymore on one of our
workstations ( dhcp also doesn't work ). We can ping to
external IP adresses but is all ( it works fine on other
machines in our LAN )

Anybody an idea ?

Thanks

Dirk

Dirk,

DNS resolution is affected by the LSP / Winsock subsystem.

Give LSP-Fix and WinsockLSPFix a shot <http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>

if XP SP2, try Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" into the
command window.

Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
