FN-FORUM: DNS dropping

date posted 27th June 2003 09:56

Hi all

It may be that I'm not fully awake yet but I can't work this one out.
The DNS on an internet connection periodically won't resolve.
The connection has not been dropped as other machines on the network connect
fine.
The only way to get it back again seems to be swap the primary & secondary
DNS servers around and reboot.

Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this?

It has happened on several machines and networks and doesn't seem to be
specific to one OS.
It's happened on Win2k pro, Win2k server and XP pro. The server is a PDC.

Is the DNS being screwed up by something?
I've checked the settings and they all seem to be fine.

Cheers

Ali
