Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : bechtel.com

Now from most of the other machines in this building (london) the server I am connecting to is houston they connect fine:

M:\>net use \\hous0028\address
The command completed successfully.

Can't figure out why this would be happening, this problem machine works fine on its domain and can authenticate to all the london servers etc

This is not a DNS problem. Perhaps you should post this in the windows forum.

if I try connect by IP address it connects straight away

It is not a DNS problem. NetBIOS (or WINS? not terribly familiar with what WINS is) resolves those kind of names.

is this a terminal server. if so, please see microsoft support. there's an issue. if this is not an ts issue, can you ping the server name? if not, add a line in the LMHOST file or add a WINS server. for modifications for LMHOST check either MS's site or read the heading in the file. lmhost is found in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\
