Internet Access on a PC

[SQLScholar]

Hi all,

At work a PC was last night working 100% properly.

This morning, my boss comes in and cannot get internet access.

I can ping his machine, he can ping mine - i can get on the net, he cant. His connection settings are fine (DHCP/WINS/DNS/PROXY).

If he repairs his network connection, it comes back - for 2 pings.... then dies again. Yet he can always ping the network.

Any ideas?

Ok - it seems it was linked to the DHCP server. Not quite sure what to do with it.

Restarted the server and it all works well. WIERD!!!
