I changed the local machine's DNS server entry, not the LAN's IP.

I ass-u-me that you did this on the machine that isn't working properly?

Yes.

Did you change it to the same server address as the machine that is working properly ?

No. I changed it to a known good DNS address.

I hate to be rude but these networking questions would be so much easier to answer if you gave us ALL THE INFO at the same time instead of us having to ask or even worse assuming this or that is true when in fact it is not.

Well, if I omit something I didn't do... :-)


Getting away from the DNS situation, here's something that may be relevant. When my wife's machine went sour, she told me that she was able to send emails to people in her company's domain but not to others. The host, Dreamhost, has previously reported a DDoS but as of 12/12, they say: "Okay, the attack has been thwarted for the time being it seems. We're all still keeping an eye on things."

If emails can be sent within a given host, but not sent from that host, wouldn't that indicate a problem like DoS?

Also, and surely not being able to connect to an SMTP server might becaused by a DoS, no?

Thanks.
