Thanks for the reply. The network is definitely plugged in & as far as I can tell, fully functional.
I don't have access to the box right now, I will double check the dns name when I'm back in the office. Is it actually possible for dns name to be invalid and the network functional? If it helps, calling System.Net.Dns.GetHostName() in isolation from within a console application works fine. I can only guess it's something to do with the IIS hosting, or the context under which it's running (a dedicated AD service account.) -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.
