Hello,
I am having an issue that I've never seen before and so far have been unable to resolve. we have one particular PC which periodically loses it's DNS settings . What I mean by this is at some point, we will find it cannot do DNS lookups. Doing a NSLookup, I find that it is then trying to query itself (127.0.0.1) rather than the DNS servers. Doing an ipconfig /all I find that there are no longer any DNS servers listed in the output. The PC is getting it's settings from DHCP. The only way to resolve is to reboot the PC. Here is a list of things I have tried with no luck.
[ul]
[li]Unplugging and replugging in the Ethernet cord does not fix the issue.[/li]
[li]ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew does not fix the issue.[/li]
[li]Using the network troubleshooter does not find nor resolve the problem.[/li]
[li]I have updated the driver to the latest level with no change.[/li]
[li]I have stopped the PC from going to sleep or hibernating.[/li]
[li]I have statically assigned the DNS server IP's with no change.[/li]
[/ul]
It just happened again just now and I went into the driver and turned off the Energy Efficiency option. I am not hopeful that it will resolve the issue though because I have the same laptop and have never had to adjust those settings.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Daniel
