Re: DNS not working

Thank you for your quick reply chuck.

I get the error "page cannot be displayed" when trying to browse from the
problem laptop. other users on that same network are able to browse. I can
browse using the IP addresses for sites However most of the pages are not
fully displayed. (ie: yahoo.com has broken links for all the images.) I do
not believe this is a MTU problem. The location where the laptop can not
browse is at the users' home where his personal computers are able to browse
the internet. There is not a complex network set up there.. just a linksys
router.

The links you provided were pretty cool. Definitely worth noting for future
troubleshooting.

The posts for the ipconfig output will be provided shortly because i am not
currently at the location were the user can't connect. I can tell you
everything there looks normal. I compared the ipconfig /all output on a
computer that works there and this computer that didnt work. the ONLY thing
different was of course the IP (x.x.x.100 vs x.x.x.101) and the Node type
(working - hybrid and non-working - unknown). The DNS addresses were
identical and were pingable from both machines.

Thanks again for your help..

Dan
