Re: Win XP Home, XP Pro, DNS on Win2k3 Routing help.

Try:

1. On a Win2k or XP Pro machine, ping 4.2.2.1. If you get a time out, you
have a routing issue.

2. If you get an echo response in #1, ping google.com. If you get a host
not found error or timeout, you have a DNS issue.

3. If both #1 and 2 are successful, open Internet Explorer. Click
Tools/Internet Options - Connections tab. Select Never dial a connection
and click LAN Settings. Clear all check boxes - OK. Click Apply and close
IE. Open a command prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns. Open IE.
