loss of internet access.

by forumdemon2005 . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

hello all,
i’m an IT manager and i’ve been facing this problem quite often lately with many users, people all of a sudden lose their internet connectivity, and by that i mean they cannot browse they cannot log onto msn or check their e-mails via outlook. (just like if they were plugged out)

looking at their IPs and DNS they all look fine, what boggles me the most is that i can ping www.google.com or www.yahoo.com through the cmd prompt just fine.

the problem occurs in XP and vista as well, it tends to clear out when i restart the computer but there’s gotta be a way to it, another solution other than restarting.

i tried flush renew and release and all that cmd stuff but none work.

is there something i’m missing? is there a way around this or is it a known issue with a reasonable solution?

thanks for your time in advnace :))
