I currently have a connection to a small LAN at home and now have a need to use a dial-up networking due to changes on the network.

There is no domain services on the LAN and is between a few win98 machines and this one win2000 pro workstation PC with SP2. When connecting to the Internet I can connect and ping/browse IP's but there is no DNS lookups occurring on it to get the IP address for a domain name.

Can anyone help with this one please???
Cheers

where are you when connecting to the internet? Where are you when connecting to LAN at home? If you are dialing direct to your isp, they should have given you a set of DNS address. Go into your dup folder, enter properties sheet for your dial up connection, select networking or tcp/ip (depending upon win2K or win9x)and enter DNS info where indicated. If your isp did not give you DNS numbers then they are assigned dynamically (tipically) by the isp. Bottom line, call your ISP and find out your DNS info.

I have tried to get the DNS info from the ISP and have not been able to get this info, Tried everything else you suggested there. Cheers anyway.
