Hi, all.
Ok, problem is the same - I ping an IP address, I get a reply. I ping the
same address, but use its host name which in this case is xyz.balears.net,
and get "bad IP address". This is the same for any host. All the clients
on the network are fine, just the server doing this. We are connected to a
router and adsl line, gateway is 195.168.0.l5.
Yesterday, the server just stopped being able to see hostnames. Could it
be a virus ? I had sircam on a client and that did something similar.
scanning isn't showing anything, so....
I'm going mad with this - I've reinstalled tcp/ip, service packed, plus
other stuff. I added static entries to the hosts file, still no good. It
will ping local client machines by name, just not internet names.
Any more inspirational ideas out there ?
Thanks again,
Neil Mac
