Hi

A network trace would be conclusive:

1. Install network monitor on a working and non-working client.

2. At a command prompt, run the following on each:

    ipconfig /flushdns

3. Start a network trace on each.

4. Attempt to ping an internet name on each and wait for positive or
negative results.

5. Stop the network traces and compare the results.

If you need a hand, feel free to email me the traces and I'll take a look.

Kind regards
