So many questions to ask, where to start? I'll assume you're running Windows, since it's your development computer. Which one might matter.
Most of my machines come with "helper" software from the manufacturer which "helps" to set up network connections. As you'll guess from my airquotes, it's a mixed blessing, on a good day. How are you connecting? Wired or wireless? OEM or Windows software? Finally, are you using DHCP to get IP AND DNS from the router, or have you hardcoded the DNS for the machine? If you stay in the same place, on the same networks, I'd strongly recommend the latter. There's a great program called namebench written in python you can run to have it decide the optimal name servers to point your machine to, and then lock those in by setting them up in the IP properties screens of the network connection (which varies by make and model of OS you're using.) Oh, and turn it off (the computer and the router) and back on again. That solves so many problems :) On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 4:34 PM, sandc_jeff <[email protected]> wrote: > I have one computer - my development computer of course - that is losing > DNS.
