"Nslookup" associates web addresses with IP'S - but no Internet access

[z0iid]

A problem that didn't get fixed by WinSockFix.exe.

I set up (clean install on all machines) 4 computers with WinXP pro and a server running SBS-2003. Three of the computers run fine and connect fine to the network and to the internet.

The fourth one connects to to the other computers in the network (on this domain) as well as the other domain that is set up in the office. BUT - it does not connect to the internet. Here comes the interesting part. If I ping an outside IP, or web address - it starts to, then tells me "No Reply" (4x).

So I type "nslookup" at the cmd prompt. After it runs - you can type in any web address and it will tell you the IP of that address. Somehow I doubt that that information is stored locally - it would be a huge file(s). Anyhow - it tells me different IP's for each web address I put it. That tells me that it is connecting to DNS - why wouldn't it work through a browser? And why wouldn't it respond when I ping? And why would the other 3 computers work and not this one? The computers are identical - and they all have the same programs installed and the same settings.

(I have already tested several different network cards - all same results)


Maybe someone has an answer??

Have you check the proxy setting ?
Can you ping the proxy ?

Sad to say - I overlooked an elementary step in my belief that it HAD to be a software issue.

I reset my router after remembering that is good for 25 "users" - and in all my setup, they must have all gotten "reserved". Resetting the router released the reserved IP's. Problem fixed.
