Workstation DNS refuses to update
I switched DSL providers at our office location and for the most part it was a matter of updating the router with the new IP addresses (IP, gateway, and DNS servers). Everything including the VPN to another location worked fine; workstations I powered up to change the DNS addresses also worked fine. (We use fixed IP addresses, not DHCP.)
However, the Win2K3 server and two workstations (1 XP, 1 Vista) that were online at the time of the switch absolutely refuse to find the new DNS servers. I've done everything - reboot, repair the connection, flushdns/registerdns, reboot the router and DSL connection... repeatedly. The systems work fine on the intranet and can ping dotted-quad addresses, but absolutely will not resolve DNS.
What is the farkin' fix for this? (Thanks...)
