Hi Robert. Thank you for your reply. Yes, I did check the DNS settings and
confirmed that all three problem PCs settings are consistent with PCs that
are working fine.
Using "ipconfig /all" I did find that a problem PC listed "domainA.com"
three times under "DNS Suffix Search List"; whereas a functioning PC listed
"domainA.com" twice. I don't know if that is useful information.
Also, per your recommendation, I checked and verified that all PCs are
indicating the same IP address for the WINS server.
Thanks again for your help. J
