Problem with IE not resolving

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

I have a problem in Win2k Pro with IE 6.0 not resolving DNS. If I use
NSLOOKUP, it resolves OK (eg www.google.com resolves to
216.239.59.104,216.239.59.99), but IE returns the "cannot find server"
message. If I enter the IP address into IE, it is OK. Other PCs (Win2K
& XP) on the same LAN are OK.

In case my firewall (NIS 2005) was causing a problem, I've tried
disabling it, but it makes no difference.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
Roger

Are you using a proxy server? Are your network settings the same as the
other computers?

No proxy server, just direct from PC to router. In IE, the connection
settings are the same. The Win2k network settings differ slightly from
the other PCs due to a different NIC, otherwise the same - DHCP etc.

Have you tried doing an "ipconfig /flushdns" to remove any dead-entries
that may be in your dns cache? Also, you could try web surfing in
another browser to pinpoint whether IE is actually at fault.

Stuart,

I appreciate your help on this, thanks.

I've tried "ipconfig /flushdns" but that makes no difference

I've also tried installing & using Netscape, but again it makes no
difference - at least this has eliminated IE.

It seems strange that NSLOOKUP should work, but nothing else that I've
tried - does NSLOOKUP resolve addresses any differently from other
apps?

Reinstalling the NIC drivers also made no difference.

Running out of ideas, other than a reinstall of Windows.

Check to see if you have a corrupted Winsock.
