sorry for the late reply, but here is the ipconfig /all output, it looks correct: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : houw2799 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . ...

i'll have to run down to the machine during the user's lunch break to get it. the last time i did an ipconfig /all while troubleshooting it did show the correct DNS/WINS information for the client. i'll post back here in a little bit.

hello bcastner, the DNS client service is started and running along with DHCP, SERVER, and WORKSTATION services. i made the change on the DHCP server to let the clients register with DNS now to see if anything would change and so far it hasn't worked.

hello, i have a few PC's (15 or so running 2K and XP) that are not registering into DNS. ipconfig /all for the clients show they are correctly pointed to the internal DNS and WINS servers. the DHCP server is set to always update DNS for the clients. when pinging of course the NETBIOS name is...

thanks for the reply buddafish. i finally found an article that confirms what you said, the server should be pointed to itself only. it's funny how there are so few documents that point things out like this and when you find them its by accident, thanks again!

if this has been asked many times before i apologize. i've been looking for an answer as to how a WINS server should be configured. currently our two production boxes are set in the follwing manner - WINS server 1 WINS tab > WINS addresses, in order of use: WINS server 1 IP WINS server 2 IP...

an idea i saw somewhere else "Create an address lease that's invalid for your network, & reserve it to the MAC address of the laptop. They'll still get an address leased to them, but not one that will allow them to communicate to the rest of the network (or even out to the internet)." of...

MRSOLO, did you ever make any headway on this issue?

this DC was set-up by another person who is no longer here btw. i am cleaning up his messes that i find along the way and this was one of them. SP4 was installed late friday night, checked this morning it looks cool. will monitor the next few days and post back...

it's possible that scavenging may not be running. check to see if it is turned on for the forward and reverse lookup zones. if not, turn it on and accept the defaults of 7 days for each listing. hope this helps...

UPDATE: the server is running SP3. i am updating to SP4 tonight, but the culprit looks like the rpcss services is dying on the DC. i'll post back here in a few days to let everyone know how it goes...

will try the steps listed and post back the results...thanks for the help.

Found the area in the registry where the routes would be hiding: (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\ PersistentRoutes there was nothing there :-( anyone else know of anything? RRAS is not configured. Where are these entries coming from?

i've seen documentation detailing 13508 and 13509, also have a better understanding of replication under the hood my head hurts. netstat shows: TCP 0.0.0.0:135 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING UDP 0.0.0.0:135 *:* Also checked DNS and the information is there for the server unless there is...
