No DNS Lookup after Hive Recovery


I have restored a recent SYSTEM file from a Hive backup and can get on now
as Administrator. The main problem is there appears to be no DNS lookup
available...

1. I can ping Google OK by its IP address and get to it by IP addres but not
get there by name.
2. Anything in the HOSTS file that is out on the internet also pings OK.
3. NSLOOKUP gives ***Default servers are not available.
4. Currenty operating on DHCP but have tried specifying fixed IP with
Primary/Seconday DNS Servers; this gives the same answer - NSLOOKUP cannot
see the servers.
5. I can ping the router gateway on 192.168.0.1 and it is there as other PCs
on the subnet can see it and are working through it.
6. Tried NETDIAG and this yields...

Adapter : LAN1
Netcard queries test . . . : Passed
Host Name. . . . . . . . . : charlie
IP Address . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2

IpConfig results . . . . . : Failed
Pinging DHCP server - not reachable

NetBT name test. . . . . . : Passed

'Messenger Service', <20> 'WINS' names is missing.
WINS service test. . . . . : Skipped
There are no WINS servers configured for this interface.

Any help appreciated.
Barry.
