Hello everyone, I am just starting to look into this
problem. We are running about 20-30 win2k clients and
about 10 winxp clients. It seems that 3 of our winxp
clients on losing their dns sporadically during the day.
Doing an ipconfig /registerdns always fixes the problem. I
am not 100% sure if this is a client or server issue yet
since only a few machines and all being winxp are the only
clients having the problem. I am leaning towards client.
According to the server all the dns host records are
correct and pointing to the right ip. I was wondering if
this is a common problem or an easy solution? I would
appreciate any help in troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks
Dan Schuessler
 
Most likely the XP boxes have multiple DNS servers configured that don't see
the same domain spaces. Remove any ISP dns server IPs from the boxes and
make sure they only point to internal server(s).
