Win2k client DNS not resolving anything at all

[deftech]

Have a win2k pro client with sp4, and all windows updates.

IP: 10.0.0.1
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 10.0.0.50
DNS: 10.0.0.50 (I've changed it to a real DNS ip as well)

It won't resolve anything! I can goto http://70.84.252.67, but I can't goto http://www.rings-things.com.

I can ping 70.84.252.67 but I can't ping www.rings-things.com. So I know I'm getting out on the internet, but DNS on this box isn't working. I've looked all over the microsoft support forums, and tried some of their fixes but I can't seem to figure it out.

I've tried sfc /scannow.
I've removed the card from device manager and reinstalled.
Tried many things.................. help!

maybe a corrupted host file?

Don't use hosts files. I have other machines cofigured the same way, and it works fine. There is something corrupted in a dns executable or something...just can't figure it out.

Try resetting your IP stack with this command:

From a command prompt, type the following:


netsh <enter>
interface reset all
routing reset all
routing
dump
bye
exit

Nay, doesn't work 🙁(

Thanks for trying.

I still get unknown host when I try to ping any domain name. Browsing to IP's works fine.

I have no special programs running, no firewalls, nothing.........grr!

Stinkin windows....

Fixed! I had to uninstall TCP/IP and reinstall it, and it works fine. Go figure something so simple, yet I couldn't see it.

Something in the stack must've been corrupted.

Thanks for the replies.
