My problem seems pretty basic after looking through other
posts for an answer.  But I'm hoping it's so easy that
someone can answer me.

All of a sudden, the two NT4.0 machines on our little
network stopped being able to see websites.  If we put in
a URL (i.e. microsoft.com), we got the "Page cannot be
displayed .. DNS error" thing.  If I enter an IP address
directly, however, (i.e. 216.92.56.121), it works just
fine.  I figure it is a DNS problem, but I put in the
addresses that the other machines (a W2K and an XP Pro)
had and still nothing.  Am I crazy?

Thanks,
Chris

You're likely correct that it's a name resolution issue, but you need
to track it down.  Is there a firewall blocking DNS for example?  Can
you do a NSlookup using those DNS settings?
