Win2k networking oddity

Never has been part of a domain. What is a "managed network?"

I have no idea what my DNS servers would be. Know what SBC uses? If it is a DNS problem, why would it only be a problem in regular user mode and not admin? Also, if it were DNS related, I should still be able to visit network locations, such as router config via IP address, right?

There have been no updates to the computer in at least a month.

Managed network is a network that requires specific hard coded proxy settings and may apply gp settings to the system to control access. Used to be the big thing in some universities that were anti MS/ADDS.

DNS cache could have issues related to user accounts.

Log on as local admin
Run a SET from the console then an IPCONFIG /ALL then IPCONFIG /DISPLAYDNS PM me the results. (all have a space before the /)

Then type IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS, now try it with both accounts.

As to your ISP’s DNS servers, I don’t have a clue. Email them. For now, bind these.
68.15.165.12
63.226.12.96
64.151.103.120
216.87.84.209

Try both accounts again.

Don’t worry if I don’t get right back to you right away. AM here I’m sitting with a hose in my arm, rest of the time I home, have yet to find out when I’ll be sleeping ;( but doubt it will happen tonight. At any rate, I will get back to you, promise

PS: just for grins, turn off the fire wall if you are running one. Then see what you can ping.

There is too much to capture in the ipconfig /displaydns output. Any way I can get it to dump to a file, some DOS equivalent to > operator?

Its easy, just took me a while to remember it. Brain just is not quite ready for work yet.

Run your cmd line entry
Right click the comand window header-select edit- then l/c on select all
Repeat above but this time l/c on copy

Open note pad and use the paste option

Write this one in your cheat notes. I have yet to see it in a text book.

You should be able to pipe it to a file with ">> filename"
Adding "| more" should send it through a little dos utility which pauses after each screenfull of text.

That's perfect SJ. Thanks!

OK, DNS is looking at your router. This works if the router is forwarding to a good DNS server. I have found it to be spotty at best and some older routers default to dead services. Bind the addys above to your connection for DNS and remove the .1 address. If you have the address from your ISP, add them too, and move them to the top of the list. With DNS servers, it's always good to have some extra ones listed. Let me know what happens
