Hello, Thanks for the great suggestion. I was able to get out of the domain
today and try this test. If you run nslookup, it says: can't find server name
for address 192.168.1.2, no response from server, default server unknown
address 192.168.1.2.

192.168.1.2 is, of course, the ip address of the DNS server and DHCP server
on our domain, the SBS 2003 server.

How do I get the laptop to use another name server?

Do this command: nslookup and then yahoo.com. Do you see any errors?
