NetBIOS over TCP/IP NBDD Stopping Internet Access?

Hi,

Yesterday one of our engineers was messing with DHCP scope options, and
decided to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP NBDD (option 46) for some reason. At
the time no one noticed any effect. However, this morning people who were in
the office yesterday, but who were out the office today, found that they
could not get internet access. It seems they can resolve IP addresses, but
not names. They can't ping yahoo.com, but can ping the ip address of
yahoo.com.
We're not too sure how to fix this problem. We've disabled the DHCP scope
option, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Internally, we can get net access, and we can ping yahoo.com. Some of the
external people, have been able to VPN in, and can then get net access,
however, once they disconnect the VPN again, the problem comes back.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or why this scope option would cause such
problems?

Cheers

Ben

I suspect the DNS is broken (whcih would explain why name resolution
has stoped working), try reseting the DNS (settings and all).

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!

In that case, I would say that what windows is doing is trying to use
NetBIOS to resolve domain names, which obviusly isnt going to work
(since netBIOS is for computer names, rather than domain names) but,
unfortunatly for you, i am clurently clueles as to why windows would
do this.

This now has me stumped! I have tried adding specific DNS servers, rather
than allowing DHCP to issue them. I've disabled NETBIOS over TCP, and
released/renewed IP then flushed/registered DNS. I've even gone as far as
using netsh to re-install TCP/IP. Nothing works. The only way I can get to a
web site, is to enter the IP & hostname is the hosts file, I can then browse
that site. However following any links off to another webserver then brings
back the same old page can not be displayed error. I've gone though the
"checking connectivity for windows xp" artical on MS support, but everything
appears to be fine.
I'm lost! What else can I try, beside re-installing 15 users laptops??

Have you read http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308006
?
Its has some troubleshooting info in cases where you can't access websites
using thier FQDN
when using ICS.

Hi,
We're not using ICS, everyone seems to be having the same problem, even
though some people are using ADSL modems connected via USB, and some are
ADSL connected to network routers. When everyone is in the office we're all
connecting though a firewall, and web access works. Eveyone's home
connections WERE working, until this 1 change, which has now been removed.
I'll have a look though, it might shed some light, or offer possible
solutions.
Thanks.
Ben
