Hi man,
which type of network do you have with you.

by ajith_haq

Plz ignor that one .I belive that you r having a Domain .Is the Dns resolution working properly.Because previously i was having the same problem.

How would i check if the DNS resolution is working properly. would if only do this to a few pcs on my network if it wasnt working properly?

by ajith_haq

You can check whether your DNS is working properly or not by using the NSLOOKUP command.
eg:-nslookup PCNAME
This should return,
1.the FQDN of your DNS server
2.IP ADDRESS of the DNS server,
3.the FQDN of the PC you are trying to resolve,
4.IP ADDRESS of the PC which you entered.
