DNS Failures

-----Original Message-----
I have a desktop that refuses to resolve DNS names. I
can
ping any and all IPs inside or out of the LAN. Once I
try
to ping google.com or msn.com etc it fails. I've
manually
entered in the ip/subnet/gateway and along with the DNS
servers. I've triple checked all settings including the
advanced button, and compared with my PC right here,
everything is the same (except for the IP of course).
ping 216.239.51.100 works, but ping google.com doesn't,
net
view \\computername also works. I'm on a cable modem
connected to a linksys 8-port router, every other PC
works
as usual except this one, I've even tried switching
cables
or trying different ports and NICs.

Any ideas what might be conflicting with the DNS?

Thanks

go to a command prompt and type nslookup then hit return
and cut and paste the results here.

The info this url leads to fixed my problem. Seems XP caches DNS
addresses, and you have to reboot to clear the cache. This info helped
me fix my DNS errors.
