DHCP working fine 2. NAT router's admin page showing fine on browser 3. ping DNS Server OK 4. ping any ip OK 5. FTP connection to some computer via IP, working fine. 6. Others in the same LAN has no problem with internet browsing. 7. ping some server via domain name, failed. 8. opening some webpages via domain name, failed. i've check the following pages : - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/169790/en-us - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274498/en-us and also i've done the following, all ended up in nothing. 1. cleared all settings in the IE Internet Connection Settings. 2. removed and reinstalled Winsock2 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services registry 3. go thru Internet Connection Wizard and set all settings correctly. has anyone encountered this before? pls help. thanx to all ^^
