I had to replace a motherboard in my home machine and now cannot get DNS to function correctly. I have installed all the current drivers for the new motherboard.

Everything is working great except the LAN. For some weird reason I can ping the network and the router as well as IP addresses on the Internet. I cannot ping a domain name which tells me there is a DNS problem.

I have removed/reinstalled the Nic, updated the driver, tried multiple DNS settings (I use a static IP with a cable modem and NAT router). It is mind numbing. Tried both IE and Netscape. All other computers on the netwrk can still get to the web and share data.

Setup :
Win2k
cable modem
SMC Barricade 7004 router (wired and wireless)
MSI KT4AV-L motherboard with onboard LAN - AMD 1700+
Problem computer connects via wired ethernet
Static IP address

The confusing part is that I am using the same DNS settings I had before the original motherboard blew up. I have tried using the router gateway (suggested by SMC) and the DNS for comcast.net.

Still no luck. Can ping the Google IP address but the domain name.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,

B
