My boss called my upstairs and asked me why he cannot connect to our websites that are hosted downstairs in my office but he showed me he was still able to access our ASP applications (through IE and Mozilla).

How can this be?

We have a main intranet page where all the app links are located, all apps start with "http", but the websites obviously have a "www" and I suppose Windows Xp will use the DNS servers to locate our websites even if they are downstairs.

It wouldn't be so bad if he could never connect, but the first thing he told me this morning is that he was able to connect, but yesterday he couldn't.

Then 10 minutes ago, I went up there and it doesn't work again. How can it only work sometimes?

He did change his password on his laptop (his windows xp) login, but this shouldn't effect it, should it?

He can go to any other website, except for the two we have hosted.

Our DNS servers are two from AT&T and 1 is from our router.
