Hi,

I'm having problems with name resolution. I can connect fine to my ISP, but I then cannot find any web sites. I can ping an IP address, but not a name so it appears to be a DNS problem. The problem is _not_ specific to one ISP, so it's not a DNS server config problem. nslookup gives:

*** Can't find server name for address 194.168.4.100:
No response from server :
*** Default servers are not available

nslookup -d2 gives:

Server: UnKnown
Address: 194.168.4.100

------------
SendRequest(), len 44
HEADER:
opcode = QUERY, id = 5, rcode = NOERROR
header flags: query, want recursion
questions = 1, answers = 0, authority records = 0, additional = 0

QUESTIONS:
100.4.168.194.in-addr.arpa, type = PTR, class = IN

------------
socket (dg) failed: No error
SendRequest failed
*** UnKnown can't find 194.168.4.100: No response from server

Pinging 194.168.4.100 works fine. Have tryed uninstalling SP3 and reinstalling W2K on top of itself - same problem! Can anyone help?!!!!!!

I have just installed SR3 and after bootup I could not log onto my ISP. It kept looking for IP address 202.6.138.34...never heard of it and consequently no matter what I tried with Internet settings it would not connect.
Upshot is I uninstalled SR3 and no more problems.
