Kenneth Courville <krcourville@msn.com> posted a question
Then Kevin replied below:
: I have a client with a small network of about 7 Windows 2000 Pro-based
: PC's and a Windows 2000 Server configured as a DC.
:
: Upon acquiring this client, I tried to steamline the network by
: setting up the DHCP service on the DC and properly configuring the DNS
: service forwarders with the ISP's DNS servers.
:
: For some reason, all of the workstation except for one cannot resolve
: external hosts like www.yahoo.com. I can use the NSLOOKUP tool to
: resolve the host to an IP and ping/browse the IP just fine. Resolving
: internal hosts seems to work fine as well. They are able to map the
: the server shares and browse the network.
:
: However, if I assign static IP information, external host resolution
: works fine.
:
: I can plug in my own laptop to their hub and browse the web with no
: further configuration on my laptop, using DHCP-assigned ip info. This
: leads me to believe that the problem is workstation-related.
:
: Their previous administrator left under bad terms, and I'm afraid that
: these PC's may have been sabataged somehow.
:
: Does anyone have any idea on this? I can't find a decent DNS
: troubleshooting doc.
:
: Here's what a statically configured workstation looks like:
: Windows 2000 IP Configuration
:
: Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : hostnamechangedforprivacy
: Primary DNS Suffix . . . . . . . :
: clientdomainchangedforprivacy.com
: Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
: IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
: WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
: DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . :
: clientdomainchangedforprivacy.com
:
: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
:
: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
: Description . . . . . . . . . . . : D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI
: Adapter
: Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-05-5D-4B-BF-C0
: DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
: IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.1.210
: Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
: Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.1.1
: DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.1.128
: Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 10.0.1.128
It would help a lot if you would give an ipconfig /all from a client that
uses DHCP.
But what is the DNS address in DHCP option 006 and the gateway address in
option 003?
