I have a site set up in IIS on a server on our network.. when I try to access it from another PC on the network I get the error below....

I can access domain ok - I can get a list of the directories on the server and go into any of them apart from one they work.

Problem Report
The system detected an Unresolved Host Name while attempting to retrieve the URL:
Message ID
UNRESOLVED_HOSTNAME

Problem Description
DNS resolution failure encountered for the host 'machine.domain.com'.

Possible Problem Cause
The host entered has a mistake, or the requested Web site is temporarily unavailable in DNS.

Possible Solution
Examine or correct any mistakes, or try again at a later time.
 
It sounds like either you have a bad Host file on your computer or that your DNS server has some bad data.
