This problem is really bugging me, and it's only through IE as well, we have a few intranet web server, if I try to connect to them by their DNS name it bombs me out, with the usual web page not found message, if I connect via the ip address no prob, but this is stopping me using compaq's insight manager and the like and i've try everything I can think of, the DNS servers are setup in the network settings and we're also using DHCP, i'm using XP pro on a 100mb lan, any ideas? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
