Win2k forgets Nameserver?

[rahim anderson]

try killing the DNS client on the machines that are having a problem.  you
can test by stopping the service if you dont want to immediatly disable the
service, but I've gotten into the habit of disabling the service on any 2k
box I work on.  hope that helps.
