Dear all,
I am an administrator for a small group using win 2k3 sbs.

If I set the dns on the client to auto. I get a issue where I have to hit F5 to refresh about 5 times before the site loads.

When I set the DNS to the DNS IP I have no problems? Every things works fine!

Any ideas?
Cheers Pete

Hi Pete

From your clients, when you set the DNS to "auto", if you open a DOS window and do the command "IPCONFIG /ALL", what shows up on your DNS settings?

Do you use a proxy or are your clients getting out directly?

How is your DNS forwarding set up on your network?

When I ipconfig /all it is all pionting to my server. the server is forwarding to my ISP DNS. They say that it is all ok.

There is no proxy server. There is a fire wall but it is not setup yet and there are no filters as of yet.

This is probably redundant, but when you set DNS to auto the client gets the DNS IP from the DHCP server and the gateway would forward the DNS for your ISP. So the client searches locally for a resolve when all non-local traffic should be going out the gate, which it knows to do with the DNS IP information?

It seems to be a problem with the Cisic 828 Modem. But what that is I have no clue
