Cables and connections were checked and good.OK, this is a fresh computer we just got yesterday to replace one with a failed hard drive. All the IP settings are correct. This is what I get from IP config:

c:\ipconfig /all

Physical address: xx:xx:xx:xx
DHCP enabled: NO
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
subnet: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Default Gateway: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Primary WINS server: empty
Secondary WINS server: empty

What I need to know is how to go from WINS to DNS? If I look in TCP/IP properties DNS info is set correctly, and WINS resolution is disabled, so why does WINS keep showing up in my config and not DNS?
