lost DNS server... I think
Hi...
I've a client machine on a small win2000 Lan here in China. The lan keeps on losing the internet but I discover that a programme busy downloading is still downloading - and a web page I have I can still refresh.
But no new web pages can be found.
Ping reports 'unknown name' on a name ping and times out on an IP number ping.
The internet is effectively not there, but it is there. So I surmise the DNS server has gone down.
That server is outside our lan I suppose.
My question is: how can I check that this is really the problem. What might cause it. What can we here in the lan do about it - i.e. can we have our own dns server or something... or restart theirs?
regards
