Use NSLOOKUP on the DNS server, check to see which server is it using to
resolve? Also check whether you have forwarders set up properly. In
addition, if you are using the local DNS server for name resolution, try
stopping and restarting the DNS server service. That usually clears up any
DNS issues.

Subject: Unable to resolve DNS
Hello, all.
My NT server has suddenly stopped resolving DNS names. It's NT 4, sp 6a,
connected to a router and an ADSL line to our providers site, where there
are two DNS servers. I can ping out using IP addresses, but if I ping a
www site I get "bad IP address". I have reinstalled TCP/IP and service
packed to no avail. I also removed RAS and an old external modem which
wasn't being used (Tapisrv.exe was using some resources, and technet
implied this may be a cause). All other PC's on the network can browse
internet, without problem, so it's definitely the server. It was working
on minute, then the next... nothing. I have updated antivirus and scanned,
nothing there.
Please help !
Incidentally, I am not receiving the mails from the list, so please reply
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with ideas and I will be most grateful.
Thank you one and all,
Neil Macdonald
