Hi Sparda,
I've tried adding the DNS entries manually, then doing ipconfig /flushdns
then /registerdns, and also rebooting, but neither worked. My laptop has the
problem now also. I got home from work, and tried to connect to my home LAN,
and it won't open any web pages, or ping any sites. Only way I can get
external access is to VPN into the office, and work off that LAN.
My home LAN has a netgear router that acts as a DHCP server, issuing IPs &
DNS, the machine I'm working from now works pefectly, but my laptop next to
me, running through the same router, will just not resolve external names!
