I've gots Win2k, no SP installed, and I am having DNS problems. When I first boot up things may or may not work properly. Today when booting, IE gave me trouble....reboot.
Anyhow, the real issue lies with DNS. Sometimes things will be fine, other times things will go awry. My connectivity is patchy within any few minute window.
Problem: Pinging an IP explicity seems to work always, however DNS resolution doesn't work. I lose the table or something and cannot access sites/computers thru names.
Steps taken to resolve: Disable network then re-enable. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. It can take a while before it decides to work again.
Hardware/programs related: Win2k (as stated), only running TCP/IP and Sharing, 3Com 3C509b-TPO (ISA) network card, Netgear Cable/DSL Router w/Switched network, WebWasher, ping, IE, ICQ.
Roomate is running Win98, runs through the same firewall to the same TimeWarner *cough cough* cable access....and his works fine all the time. I have only started having problems with this in the last 2 weeks.
I haven't done anything to the system in a long time. Recently I began having issues where IE would occasionally just die when I first booted. I would open it up, it would open, then just stop responding. Woulnd't use any processor, would just sit there. The only resolution is a reboot, it wouldn't work otherwise. This issue doesn't happen all the time.
Any help is much appreciated, sorry if it's not the most coherent post.
