After changing my Internet connection (ADSL with second
nic) using the wizard.
Suddenly the clients get a wrong IP address when trying to
PING the server name

Example:
The severname is: WINSERVER
The normal IP-address is: 192.168.16.2

When opening a DOS box and typing: ping winserver
The DNS sets it to: 192.168.16.45
And ofcourse there is NO reply

After a while the system corrects itself but after some
more time it happens AGAIN
Due to this Outlook can not be used because the Exhchange
server cannot be found.... PLEASE HELP

Hi Harpert,

It sounds like you are seeing an issue with RAS and WINS registrations -
Try the steps in the following article... if you have SP3 on the server
follow just the registry edits.

Thanks guys...

It worked
Just ONE question... clients now cannot ping a hostname..
They can ping ip addresses (outside the Lan) and IE works
fine...

What is wrong here
