DNS Server Cannot Resolve IP Address
Oct 27, 2007
laptop suddenly stopped being able to view webpages on IE and cannot connect to Window Live Messenger. When signing into Windows Messenger I receive error 87200ee7. When I contacted Messenger Customer Service they directed me to the Command Prompt and the following list of commands.And also "repaired my internet connection" in IE. However, I am still having the same issues despite my computer being connected to the internet (I can still download via Limewire) and having no firewall set up.

I have a trial version 2003 server and have installed it at home. I use Active Directory. When making a DNS server, I pointed my workstation to the server for its DNS, this worked for about 10 minutes. As per Comcast rules about not being able to have a static IP address for the server. How to make a dynamic IP and when it changes just go in and change my workstations to the new DNS which would be the servers new IP?

Normally it connects to Orange BroadBand (ex Wanadoo, ex Freeserve) using its ADSL Speedtouch modem but while it's on my network I'm wanting it to use my network connection.However I try,any attempt to browse the iNet is met with it trying to connect via its dialup ADSL connection I've got connection settings to say don't bother).ipconfig /all reveals exactly what I'd expect for the LAN connection, DNS server is fine, etc. and I can ping an IP address but when I try to ping a hostname it says it doesn't know anything about that name, i.e. it's not managing to get the IP address from the DNS servers (I've also tried specifying other servers).

I am running xp pro. I can not get an internet connection through my ethernet card. When I hook up my modem through usb it works fine but unable to utilize my full download speed capabilities. Hooked the modem up via ethernet to laptop and it worked just fine. The only thing I can find wrong that I don't know how to fix or what is causing it is the fact that the physical address of the card comes up as the broadcast address (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF). Very strange.

I opened my computer and decided to goto internet through the my computer window. So I pressed home button of my key board so the My Computer window converted to a web page. But after that the address bar disappeared. I closed the window and restart the machine and opened the internet explorer, but still address bar is missing. I checked under the tools and I can see the tick infront of the address bar.

My mom has an IBM PC which recently had to have the HD replaced. When we got it back we had a brand new HD with a new install of XP Professional with SP 2 (old HD had XP Home edition only).
The computer connects to the internet via a dial up link only. The computer works fine except that I notice after we have been on line for a time e.g. > 1hr or so, all of a sudden with no warning we seem to loose ability to resolve URL names when trying to connect to websites. In Firefox we get the message in the bottom of the Firefox display ''looking up www.abcde.com'' and then after a while the message that the web site can't be found. IE has a similar issue and appears unable to resolve the URLs to IP addresses and trying to ping a URL (e.g. ping www.yahoo.com) produces an error message indicating the address can't be found.
I checked the IP config info and when this problem occurrs I find I am still able to ping the DNS server's IP address without a problem from the computer (so the basic connectivity appears to be still there), yet I'll still get the message in browser in the end indicating name resolution failed. When I check the stats on the connection properties while I am trying to connect to a web site the bytes sent/recieved counters do increment indicating something is going back and forth between the computer and the ISP and no excessive amounts of errors are reported.
Sometimes the problem occurs after an hour or so of surfing, other times we'll be connected and surfing without a problem, but we logoff for a while leaving the computer running and then come back, logon and find this name resolution problem has cropped up again and it's impossible to resolve URLs again until a reboot.
The only fix is a reboot. Logging off and logging on and/or disconneting/reconnecting the dial up link has no effect unless a reboot is performed first. Once we reboot, we can connect and surf again with no problem.
On the computer we have one account set up with admin privelidges and 2 user accounts. The problem occurs on all 3 accounts and once the problem starts occurring changing accounts doesn't make a difference (without a reboot).
I checked the system log for error messages while this problem was occuring and nothing showed up in the system log.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to where I should look next. This problem only occurred after we got the computer back with the new hard drive and new OS installed, prior to that the problem never occurred on the old hard drive with XP Home edition. I was thinking of looking for a sniffer freeware/shareware program to see if we could determine what exactly was going out over the wire and coming back when this problem starts to occur, but since we only have dial up access downloading software is a pain.

We have run across a problem here with APIPA addressing. After we install Windows updates, Windows assigns an APIPA address in the 169.254.x.x range, instead of getting an address from the DHCP server. The effect is that the computer loses connectivity with the network and the Internet. You can confirm this problem by running an IPCONFIG and checking for an address in the 169.254 range.
Releasing and renewing the address does not correct the problem. Assigning a static IP address resolved the issue. Searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base, we found a registry hack that will disable APIPA addressing on the computer, and this does correct the problem so the computer can connect to the network again. We assume that the problem is a result of an update from last Tuesday, but we have not determined which update is the problem. We are still looking. Our concern is that as DHCP leases expire with computers in the field, that this effect may appear. If you get calls for loss of network or Internet connectivity, have the user run IPCONFIG, and if they have an APIPA address, the registry hack is outlined in KB article

You may be a victim of counterfeiting ! My sons 2nd hand pc running XP is getting boxes with this message (You may be a victim of counterfeiting) there is also a 5 pointed starlike icon in the system tray which gives a yellow box with the same message ,when you switch on the pc there is a 16th screen box bottom right corner same message ,when you log in a 1/4 screen box comes up same message with buttons to resolve now(?) and resolve later,which by hitting resolve later allows you to log on and the pc seems to work fine.
It does appear to be from MS,anyone else encounter this? Whats the story? As well an unrelated occurance ,on the forum index for this thread when I run my mouse over the forum topics and get the little hint box that tells you a bit more I am getting in amongst the words (are you ready for this?) swastikas???

The procedure is as follows:
Right-click databases -> Restore Database
I mark 'from device', click the '...' button & select 'File' in the dropdown, then brows to the file itself. Under 'select the backup sets to restore' I check the only checkbox there, then in the 'To Database' I select the name of the database in the file (a new DB name appears there as you select the file).

XP Pro SP2, all latest updates. When I reboot, I can correctly sync to a time server, but after an unknown amount of time it goes back to saying "The RPC server is unavailable" instantly after clicking Update Now, regardless of what server I tell it to sync to. I also noticed that if I view my nForce Networking Controller status, then click Properties and go to the Authentication tab, everything is greyed out. If I hit OK without changing anything (I can't change it even if I wanted to), a message pops up saying "An unexpected condition occured. Not all of your requested changes in settings could be made" and just goes back to that window. I have to hit cancel to close it

I was trying to connect to another computer using remote assistance. I have XP prof. and the other computer has XP home. We were getting a message about not being able to resolve host name. After disabling firewalls and setting up port triggering for 3389 we cannot get past trying to connect. It just hangs there and goes nowhere. The other computer has XP home and is asking for assistance from a XP prof compter behind a router but has port triggering enabled for port 3389 even though it not needed.

I found my motherboard had blown so I purchased a new computer. This one has SATA drives rather than the IDE like my earlier one.I wanted to get some files off the old hard drives so purchased an Adaptec USB 2 Hard Drive Enclosure. It was recognized via plug and play (no drivers for the enclosure needed) and I was able to get some files off. However the next day when I tried to access the drive, it didn't show in Windows Explorer.I removed it from USB plug and tried the USB port next to the one I had previously tried. It recognized the drive and I was able to get more files.
However the same thing happened after I turned it off and rebooted the next day.I was unable to get it to work in either one of the front ports.I then tried one of the back ports, everything worked as before. Again, though, after turning it off, I am unable to access it through any of the 3 ports I've previously tried! What is going on? I still have stuff to get off it and I'm running out of ports.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, so I hope you will excuse me as it is my first time here. This question is from my brother who cannot get a web address to enter into his address section on IE. What might you suggest he do so I can pass your information on?

I'm looking at setting up windows 2003 terminal servers all over the place to replace the awful thing people are currently doing here - vncing servers with one small shared password among everyone <holding my hands over my ears for the backlash>. Don't blame me, it's another awful legacy I have to get rid of...
1. I've got to set up a Terminal Server Licensing server and was thinking about putting this on my second domain controller. I was wondering what would happen in this server dies, though. Is there some way of having resilience in this scenario? Perhaps a second Licensing server or something, the way you have 2 or more Domain Controllers?

I go to Start -> Accessorties -> Windows Explorer the normal Windows Explorer comes up fine, with the address bar, and everything the way I like it. However, if I go to Start -> Run -> Directory Name then Windows Explorer comes up and everything is cool except that there isn't an address bar!
I also use some shortcuts on my Quick Launch bar that point to folders; these also will open Windows explorer without an address bar. I've tried right clicking on the taskbad and selecting Address Bar, but it doesn't work.
Here is a screen capture video so you know exactly what's going on:
