Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Heres the problem I am having:

Basically we have a DNS server which resolves all our internal IP's to a host name. Some users in the building are trying to access our new intranet site but the DNS server doesn't resolve the address and therefore they get a page cannot be displayed message. If the same users restart their PC's they are able to view the site fine.

The only solution we have so far is to add a hosts file with the entries in to the system folder. Ideally we would like to find out the cause and not messing about by changing host files.

The users that have been having problems have been using Win98, win2k, and winxp.
 
Use a static entry in the forward lookup zone in DNS to point to the desired server. ie:

If Intranet is 192.168.2.111 then configure intranet to go to 192.168.2.111
