Yeah, can't give details because i'll only be able to look at the
machine
sometime next week, but I've had a friend phone me and complain that his
windows 2000 server is now having trouble with DNS names.

about 1.5 weeks before the worm appeared, my windows 2000
machine stopped resolving DNS names. a reboot would solve
the problem, then after an hour it would stop working again.
networking was fine otherwise - resolving hosts via the
hosts file worked and you could reach machines by numeric
ip address. restarting the DNS client service did nothing.
in fact, i never found a solution, and ended up installing
windows on new hardware and moving my files over.

what a waste of time.

i have no idea if this is related to the worm or just a bug
in windows (god forbid). but since your symptoms appear to
be similar i thought i would mention it.

if this is your problem, and you find a fix, i'd really like
to know about it...

regards,
henry

My apologies if this is a stupid question.  I haven't seen this
mentioned on
the list yet and I haven't heard about until today when some
customers
called. It seems that after they get the worm ( which I have been
telling
the to update since July...go figure ) and remove it. They can no
longer
get
to any websites.  Checked all the settings and they are good. They
can
ping
outside there network and get email through outlook. Just can't
browse
any
websites?  Anyone heard of this or why it is happening?  Or how to
fix
it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
