I've had this appear on customers running Win98 to XP Pro. I've had one that wouldn't work unless I changed the MTU and set the NIC to 10-T half.

Are you running a windows network? I've had a similar issue with a couple of my customers. Usually a reboot fixes it and it seems to occur only on the older Windows 95/98. I'm not sure exactly the cause, but I agree that it's a DNS issue. Either their cache fills up or they are getting an incorrect route. I haven't had enough people complain to spend time on it . . .yet. Changing the MTU, just causes it to dump the cache or reset the network setting. I would test changing the MTU and then changing it back. I bet it will still work.

DNS resolves fine. I can ping by web address, just can't reach it by the
browser. The browser (I.E. or Netscape) shows web site contacted, waiting for reply and then times out. The only thing that fixes this (that I've found) is changing the MTU
