Every so often I have computers that run Win2k Pro and it
will all of a sudden stop finding the DNS server which is
on the NT 4.0 platform. If I do an ipconfig /flushdns or
release and renew my ip address it will start working
again. Any Idea what is causeing this to drop connectivity
to the Win2k Pro PC.

Thanks
Mike

Yes, you have not upgraded the computer to Windows 2000 Professional Service
Pack 3 or 4. Known issue.

I have the same problem. I still can't join my laptop
(2000 pro) to our domain (NT4) after some wierd AOL
feature update. I tried ipconfig/flushdns and it still
doesn't work. I can PING by IP, but not by name. Your help
is really appreciated.
