[geeks] Win2k DNS issue - help!

[wlewis at mailbag.com]

Ok, before I take a sledgehammer to this box I'm trying to get setup, perhaps 
one of you has some ideas to clue me with.

I have a box I am trying to set up - P3/450, 256mb, 6gb, built in everything - 
with Win2k. I have it connected to my hub which is in turn connected to my 
Linksys BEFSR41 4 port DSL router. My Sun Blade 100, Vaxstation 4000/90, and 
Alphaserver 300 are all also on this hub and working fine.

I have the network connection set to get the IP and DNS information 
automatically from the router. If I do ipconfig/all I get back all the correct 
information. If I ping the dns server by IP address (ping 204.128.1.20) it 
comes back just fine. However if I ping by name, it comes back with a host name 
unresolvable error. 

As near as I can tell, everything is setup correctly, but I can't get any DNS 
resolution. The IP stack itself is installed and working correctly - at least 
that's what ping appears to show. The router appears to be configured properly 
or the other machines on the network wouldn't see the world? 

Any hints appreciated.

Thanks,

William
