Strange DNS problem

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

Hi,

I have a PC running win2k sp4, accessing the net via a Draytek router.
Several other PCs are connected to the same router, all via ethernet.

DNS is as usual via DHCP.

Every 10-20 mins, I find that I can't get onto any websites. Running

ipconfig /all

shows the ISP's nameservers are still shown correctly, and I can ping
an outside IP but cannot ping a name (e.g. www.cisco.com).

If I do ipconfig /flushdns followed by ipconfig /renew that *appears*
to fix it but that could be just coincidence, as it seems to fix
itself eventually.

The other PCs don't show this problem at all.

What could it be?


Peter.
