Hi to all,
I've got a weird situation.
The Vista Ultimate Network and Sharing Center says my computer is connected
to the router (ClubInterne Box) and the router
to the Internet, all O.K . However when I try to call a site out of my
favorites it fails.
To test the link I try to Ping several addresses by their IP4 address (i.e.
194.158.109.114) it works O.K, no packet lost,
speed in the 30 sec!
If I ping the very same locations by their respective name (i.e
www.wanadoo.fr) then it fails. Looks like no DNS available.
But if I ping my internet provider's primary and secondary DNS servers by
their Ip4 address
then it works O.K? Does the above ring a bell to somebody? Thanks for
help.

Hi Robert, thanks for your reply
The only way I know to use nslookup is the following and apparently it
works. See below :

C:\Windows\System32>nslookup 194.158.120.15
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1:53
Name: www.club-internet.fr
Address: 194.158.120.15 ;that's O.K


C:\Windows\System32>nslookup 212.27.48.10
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1:53

Name: www.free.fr
Address: 212.27.48.10 ;that's O.K


C:\Windows\System32>nslookup 193.252.122.103
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1:53

Name: hpwoo.wanadooportails.com
Address: 193.252.122.103 ;that's O.K


C:\Windows\System32>nslookup 149.174.32.135
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1:53

Name: www.compuserve.com
Address: 149.174.32.135 ;that's O.K

In a perfect DNS settings, it should give you the DNS server name like
below. Assuming 192.168.1.1 is your router as DNS, you may try to set a
different DNS for test, for example, 4.2.2.1.

CO:\Users\blin>nslookup 193.252.122.103
Server: dc1.chicagotech.local
Address: 192.168.10.1

Name: hpwoo.wanadooportails.com
Address: 193.252.122.103
