My windows 2000 system suddenly fails to resolve any
names. The DNS server is online and pingable, NSLOOKUP
correctly gets a response but pinging by name fails whilst
pinging by address to the same server is OK. Seeems like
it never even tries to resolve a name
 
Check your DNS client cache and your hosts file. You can flush the DNS
client cache by running "ipconfig /flushdns" from a command prompt. Verify
the cache is clear immediately afterwards by running "ipconfig /displaydns".
If anything shows up now it is likely from your hosts file.
