I'm having DNS problems with my W2K machine - I can ping IP addresses in the web, but the computer doesn't appear to even attempt resolution of URL's.
I have a Linksys router performing NAT and DHCP services, but it is apparently working because the computer I'm on right now is connected the the net through the same router.
Running ipconfig/all at a command prompt shows that DHCP is correctly providing the computer an internal IP address and legitimate DNS servers, I can ping the DNS servers and other sites that I happen to have the IP addresses of, but when I ping a URL (ie: www.tomicich.com) or attempt to open one in my web browser, I get host unreachable immediately with no delay at all.
This is the third time this has happened, the first two times I ended up restoring a Ghost image after smacking it around for a day or two but that's not an option this time 'cause there are some system changes I don't want to reconstruct. Both previous times I tried changing and restoring, then pulling and replacing TCP/IP, and eventually pulling all protocols prior to pulling and replacing the adapter.
I'm at a loss now and would appreciate any helpful suggestions.
